Secrets of the Option ARM Loan (Newbie Guide) M.D. 05-11-2006
I know all there is to know about Option ARMS. The question I've is, what
is LPMI? I know what PMI is, I just don't know what L is. Please explain
what L is in LPMI.

As to whetherj or not you'd recommend these products is beside the point.
Some borrowers (if they really have their heart set on the house) will need
this product to qualify. Personally, I am not sure I would recommend one in this
environment either, but it is a product that should be available for
consideration. I currently have this loan on my house, and I see that it
will remain pretty stable from here, even though it has been rising lately.
