The MI (Mortgage Insurance) Scheduled Termination Date refers to the projected date when mortgage insurance is set to terminate based on standard amortization assumptions. Under the Homeowners Protection Act (HPA), MI is typically required to terminate when the loan balance reaches 78% Loan-to-Value (LTV), assuming timely payments.

Key Assumptions for These Defaults:

  • Payments follow the original amortization schedule (no prepayments or late payments).

  • Fixed interest rate and loan term are used.
