Insurance comes in many forms: automobile, renters, valuable property, boat, HOME.

When you’re buying a house, one of the steps you must take before closing is providing proof of homeowners insurance. A piece of advice: follow what the commercials say and bundle! 

When you add your car and homeowners insurance together, you can get better rates on both your car and home, saving you a few bucks (that you can use towards your mortgage). The best part is, your mortgage loan will (typically) absorb the home insurance in to your mortgage payment so that you have one less bill to deal with. One less bill to deal with, but one you will be grateful for if something were to happen.
