Mortgagees often require their borrowers to purchase private mortgage insurance on the low down payment products. The insurance is for the benefit of the lender in the case of foreclosure... and resultant lender loss.
PMI, like most insurors, are averse to paying on claims... and will scrutinize the circumstances to the "nth" degree. They aren't keen on paying on claims if the claims are inflated due to illadvised short sales.
Before the mortgagee can issue short sale approval, it would need it's own approval from the PMI since they are an interested party to the transaction.
The PMI will perform it's own due diligence and analysis. They'll advise the mortgagee if the proposed transaction would result in the best net recovery.. If not, the mortgagee would not be entitled to submit a claim for full reimbursement.
PMI is like a loss mitigation department on steroids.
