Do I still need life insurance if my mortgage is paid off?
Legally, you don’t have to take out mortgage life insurance if you take out a mortgage. However, many mortgage lenders will insist on it to protect their loan in the event of a householder’s death. And you might want to buy life cover anyway if your loved ones would struggle to pay the mortgage should you die.
Why did my mortgage go up $300 dollars?
If there’s a shortage in your account because of a tax increase, your lender will cover the shortage until your next escrow analysis. When your analysis takes place, your monthly payment will go up in order to cover the time you were short and to cover the increased tax payment going forward. Mar 4, 2022
Do extra payments automatically go to principal?
The principal is the amount you borrowed. The interest is what you pay to borrow that money. If you make an extra payment, it may go toward any fees and interest first. The rest of your payment will then go toward your principal. Oct 31, 2021
