If the answer is no, then >mortgage insurance should be seriously considered. Absolutely. And let me add a caveat here: shop around. Those ads you get in the mail offering mortgage life insurance are usually from inferior (according to Best) insurance companies, and have outrageous rates. You pay for the convenience of mailing the response card. The bigger companies offer much better rates and more security. Sometimes you can do better with a plain decreasing term life insurance policy that pays off in cash to the beneficiary, rather than to the mortgage company. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Dave Kirby ( ...!ihnp4!akgub!cylixd!dave) (The views expressed herein are the exclusive property of Dave Kirby.
