How does a mortgage holder get out of PMI payments on their mortgage loan?

Seems to me that PMI is very costly for the home owner, especially me with a perfect credit rating and new funding source to maintain a mortgage if I lose my job (my job is very secure). Please any suggestions on how to get the PMI waived by the mortgage company.

Other than getting 20% equity in the property, there are no ways to avoid PMI.
You put 20% cash down simple as that. There is no other way.
Put 20% down or have 20% equity.
The mortgage company must be assured that there is sufficient equity to guarantee their investment. If you do not have that then you provide it via the mortgage insurance. There are a LOT of people that used to have secure jobs… VERY secure jobs…
PMI is very costly for the home owner. PMI protects the lender in case your loan goes into default. The only way to have it removed is when you owe less than 80% of your home’s value.
