HOME INSURANCE (also called homeowners insurance): is a policy that protects your home and belongings from unexpected events like fire, theft, vandalism, or natural disasters. It also provides liability coverage in case someone gets injured on your property.

🔹 Covers:
✅ Damage to your home & structures (roof, walls, etc.)
✅ Personal belongings (furniture, electronics, etc.)
✅ Liability for injuries or property damage
✅ Additional living expenses if you're displaced

🔹 Does NOT Cover:
❌ Floods (requires separate flood insurance)
❌ Earthquakes (needs a special policy)
❌ Regular wear & tear

💰 Pro Tip: Lenders require home insurance if you have a mortgage. Even if you own your home outright, having coverage is a smart way to protect your biggest investment!

Mortgage Term of the Day:
🔹 A Co-Signer is someone who agrees to take responsibility for the loan if the main borrower can't pay — but they don’t have ownership in the home.

🔹 A Co-Borrower shares equal responsibility for the loan and ownership of the home.

🏡 Both options can help strengthen a loan application — but it’s important to understand the differences!

That cute dining table isn’t staying. Neither is that rug. 👋 Focus on the bones, the layout, and the flow. Décor leaves—floorplans don’t.
