    That’s what life insurance polices are for. Will be pretty hard to get one with her cancer diagnosis though.

      Are you not required to have a joint life assurance policy as a condition of a mortgage in the US?

          You literally beat me to this reply by like 4 minutes haha. Banks were giving variable mortgages to people who could barely afford current rates, they don’t give a shit.

            I would never ever take an adjustable rate mortgage. That is just begging to get fucked. Like right now for example. My mortgage is like 4.2% but if it were an adjustable id be at like 6+% and be out of a house.

              Or when the housing market is booming, they’ll repossess the house and sell it again for even more of a profit.

                Probably make as much use of the scam mortgage insurance that they can too. I forget what it’s actually called but it’s a scam IMO. $100 a month baked into my escrow for insurance to the lender in case I lost the house. To my knowledge it provides me no benefit.

                Upside is when I refinanced it was taken off. (Think the whole first time home owner program requires it for the initial loan.)

        Not anywhere that I’ve seen, just home owners insurance and mortgage insurance if you pay less than 20% down.

        Nope, at least not for my mortgage. The only thing that was required was a home owners insurance policy.

        I bought last year and there was nothing in the process that wanted either of us to have life insurance.

      Love how everyone in this subthread are sure they all live in the same country with the same rules and same banking system.
