Not for FHA loans. FHA mortgage insurance is entirely funded by insurance premiums so the premiums exist for the lifetime of the loan. It's one of the only US federal programs not funded by tax dollars.I’ve been doing a little light reading, and if my understanding is correct, PMI is required to be eliminated by federal law once the balance on the mortgage drops below 78%.
EDIT: You pay a bunch up front AND monthly, not one or the other. My mistake.
