If you are a homeowner, getting a 30 year mortgage loan isn't the only thing you must do to protect your investment, although of course it is a start. Regular maintenance and safety work are indespensible. We recently refurnished our kitchen and tore out the plumming pipes that ran through the ceiling, because the ceiling was discoloring in the corner. This told us that there was a leak. In theory, we could have ignored it for a good long while and worked on other things in the kitchen, but we knew that this would only end up costing us more, and potentially threaten our investment – our beautiful home.
Getting homeowners insurance was also an important move. Think about it – your home costs a small fortune and is filled with all of your possessions. Of course you have got to insure it. Without homeowners insurance, you're doomed to lose all of your possessions and have no money to replace them if, god forbid, some natural disaster does occur.
Purchasing home insurance at the same time you take on your 30 year mortgage could save you some money. Ask your mortgage broker or bank if they recommend someone. If you take the insurance from the same lender as your 30 year mortgage, you might get a good deal.
