Cumberland, MD asked in Real Estate Law for Maryland

Q: PMI removal is being denied because I paid my mortgage down below 78% ahead of the amortization schedule?

Can PMI removal be denied for paying your mortgage down faster than the standard schedule? I'm at 76% LTV of my original loan amount, but 3 years before the standard schedule says I should be. Is there anyway around that without paying for a BPO?
