Why should I have home insurance?
If you have a mortgage, home insurance typically isn’t optional. It is required. Your lender will make you have enough to cover your mortgage. Beyond that, home insurance offers a variety of beneficial protections. It will not just help you rebuild your home if it is damaged or destroyed. It will help you afford to replace your contents and have a place to stay while the repairs are happening. Most importantly, it provides liability insurance which protects your assets from legal action against you.
How should I insure my personal possessions?
When it comes to insuring personal possessions, you have two options replacement cost or actual cash value.
- Replacement cost – With this coverage, you will get the amount needed to replace the item at today’s prices.
- Actual cash value – With this coverage, you would get the value of the item minus depreciation.
How do I choose the right deductible?
The deductible is the amount you must pay out of pocket before your insurance policy pays. By choosing a higher deductible, you can keep your policy’s cost lower, but you run the risk of paying more out of pocket. The deductible is payable on every claim.
