You spent many hours searching for the house, filling out paperwork, negotiating contract terms. All in all, it is a mighty big investment. So now that you have found the home of your dreams, it is time to protect the investment you made by purchasing some form of insurance.

National City Mortgage offers a variety of insurance plans to protect the mortgage on your home. The first is the most popular and that is homeowners insurance. This type of insurance protects your home and anything in it from loss due to theft or destruction. With tornadoes, hurricane, flooding, ice storms and more, it is imperative that you protect your home with homeowners insurance.

One specific type of homeowners insurance that is necessary to buy in addition to the traditional home insurance is flood damage insurance. Many areas of the country are hit hard each year by hurricanes, rain and subsequent flooding. These areas do not include flooding as part of their homeowners’ insurance conditions because it is too expensive to include on the plan. So the borrower must buy additional insurance to protect against flooding.

If you are buying a home that and put down less than the standard down payment, or if you take a mortgage out on a home that is above standard lending regulations, you may be asked to purchase private mortgage insurance. Since the transaction is larger than normal, this type of insurance protects the lender should you not be able to make your mortgage payments.
