Think
I'm
already
paying
for
this
coverage,
hw
How
do
I
know
for
sure
if
I'm
covered?

ask

Agent
to
review
it
with
you.

never
received
a

or
lost
your
policy,

it
carefully
and
keep

Often
home

believe
their

insurance
affords
this
protection.

Q:
What
is
(PMI)
Private
Mortgage
Insurance?
A:
Don't
Mistake
PMI
for
Mortgage
Life
Insurance.
The
names
are
very
similar,
but
actually
insure
insure
two
completely
different
things.
PMI
on
your
loan
is
Private
Mortgage
Insurance
to
indemnify
your
Lender
should
you
fail
to
make
your
mortgage
payments
as
agreed.
PMI
helps
you
into
home
ownership
with
little,
or
no
money
down.
It
is
usually
required
by
your
lender
if
the
loan
on
your
home
will
exceed
80%
of
the
appraised
value.
It
does
not
prevent
the
loss
of
your
home
from
foreclosure
and
does
not
pay
off
your
mortgage
in
the
event
of
your
death
or
disability.
Government
Home
Guaranty
services
like
VA
Loan
programs,
or
FHA
loan
programs
are
also
"insurance"
programs
that
help
you
into
home
ownership
with
little,
or
no
money
down,
by
indemnifying
the
lender.
They
do
not
protect
against
the
loss
of
the
home
when
the
loan
cannot
be
repaid
because
of
the
death,
or
disability
of
the
homeowner.
Q.
What
is
the
chance
my
premature
death,
or
disability
could
cause
my
family
to
lose
their
home
through
foreclosure?
A:
Each
year
in
the
United
States,
approximately
70%
of
all
foreclosures
and
85%
of
all
forced
Home
Sales
are
due
to
the
death,
or
long term
disability
of
the
primary
family
wage
earner.
