MORTGAGE INSURANCE

THE BENEFITS OF MORTGAGE INSURANCE:

Most people put a lot of effort into finding the right home, the right financing and the right home insurance, but spend almost no time thinking about how to protect this important asset in the event of an unexpected death or serious illness in the family. For some, it’s just easier to take the creditor insurance offered by their mortgage lender. For others, they may simply decline coverage because they haven’t been sold on the need. The key to mortgage insurance is: ELIMINATING MORTGAGE DEBT IN THE EVENT OF THE HOMEOWNER’S DEATH, and of HAVING EXTRA FUNDS AVAILABLE TO HELP COVER MORTGAGE PAYMENTS AT A TIME THE HOMEOWNER IS RECOVERING FROM A CRITICAL ILLNESS

1.      Regular mortgage insurance will only pay off your mortgage if you die – the addition of Critical Illness will pay it off even if you get sick and DON’T die as this will eliminate the stress of the PAYMENT – what would you rather lose, your home or your mortgage?
