No, I would never do that. This is because the mortgage company will have to pay your homeowners insurance once per year when the renewal comes up. I cannot tell you how many times the mortgage company does not pay These are 2 excuses: 1 - "They never got the bill", 2 - They had the wrong renewal date in the computer, got the bill but didn't pay because "it wasn't due yet" (according to their records, NOT the insurance company's records). Then, they get the cancel notice & then buy their own policy at a higher rate for the building only. What a mess. If they do pay, they refuse to pay the late fees that they caused. So, I make sure I have control of my taxes and insurance, I never leave that up to a mortgage company. I told them when I bought my house if they wanted me to escrow my taxes and insurance I would go to someone else. |

A few companies will do that - Travelers comes immediately to mind.
One major problem with billing that way - missing ONE payment jeapordizes BOTH policies. I don't recommend it - I prefer seperate billing. |

You can get it set up that way. You can ask your lender to set up an escrow account for you that can be used to pay property taxes, homeowner's insurance, or both. If your lender will do that for you, all you have to do is pay your mortgage bill every month and they take care of sending in the money for your insurance and/or property taxes. |

Typically the morgage and escoroll for property taxes are in one bill. Your lender might and/or mightnot also add the home insurance bill into that total also but they would select the company. That might not be in your best interest as it would more than likely be a minimum policy and overpriced. Plus don't forget the monthly interest rate on the morgage would also include the insurance. In other words I'd suggest you contact an independent insurance broker and obtain prices for better coverage including 80% of the house value plus replacement of lost items and a good amount of liability coverage in case a guest etc. gets hurt on your propery. Depending on were you live etc. the cost will be about $800.00 per year in four payments or around $200.00 per quarter. |

Despite some other assanine answers... here's mine. HAving worked in both fields.
You mortage is comprised of principal and interest
--The amount you borrowed plus interewst on that amount.
Then.... MOST companies REQUIRE that your taxes and insurance be esrowed or impounded. Meaning you pay a little every month and when the bills are due, the mortgage company send the check.
This is reffered to as PITI - Principal, Interest Taxes and Insurance. You do not pay interest on you insurance or taxes. (people shouldn't talk about what they dont know about)
99 times out of 100 mortgage companies send pay your bills with no issue, and if there is an issue, a good insurance company will get you involved beofre it is an issue. Normally you pay for the first year up front at closing, and then the second years coverage is divided by 12 and added to your monthly payment, that way when it's time for renewal, it's already paid.
The downside -Some people who are discplined enough, would prefer to hang on to this money and earn interest on it in a savings or money market account instead of have the mortgage co hold on to it for them.
BTW, Nationwide offers new home purchase discounts. They give you a discount for buying your insurance at the same time you buy your house. If you have any further questions i'd be glad to help. |

Usually it is, but not always. The reason it usually is, is it is a better way for the mortgage company to protect their collateral. The insurance is added into the escrow which is added to your principal and interest, which all together make up your monthly payment. |

normally when you buy a house and do not pay cash the lender will require that the house is insured (this protects both your and them) and they will estimate what the property taxes will be (so the house will not be sold for back taxes) and these two items plus the loan payment make up your house payment. the insurance and tax money is put is a escrow account and the lender will pay the insurance and taxes when they are do. |

I do not have it set up that way.
I pay each seperately. Reason being, I do not want to pay interest on my home insurance, nor do I on my taxes.
So, my morgage is for the home only.
Give it some thought, and do a little figuring and see how much you will save year after year. |
