Mortgage Loan Insurance
For most people, the hardest part of buying a home - especially a first home - is saving the necessary down payment. If you have less than 25% of the purchase price to put down, you will be required to purchase mortgage insurance through your lender. Mortgage insurance protects your lender against payment default.
