Buying a home Have you recently bought a home?

Are you planning to buy one? Learn how mortgage protection strategies using  life insurance from New York Life can protect your family and investment.

Mortgage protection helps make sure that the people you love can remain in the home they love, even if you pass away before the mortgage is paid off.

As a homeowner, you have so much to look forward to: exploring the neighborhood, making new friends, and creating memories your loved ones will cherish for the rest of their lives. That's a future worth protecting—and that's why this customized solution makes so much sense. 

Since you never know when the unthinkable will happen, mortgage protection from New York Life uses a combination of life insurance products to make sure your loved ones will always have enough cash on hand to keep up with the payments or retire the mortgage.

 

Tips for protecting your family’s home and future.

01

Give yourself time to rebuild your emergency fund.

If your down payment came from savings, you may need additional protection while building it back up.

02

Mortgage payments are just the beginning. 

Be sure to factor in other expenses such as property taxes, utilities, and maintenance fees.

03

Lenders like cash value.

Should you ever need to refinance, banks consider the cash value of life insurance an asset.

04

Not all insurance is portable.

If there’s a chance you will move, make sure you can take your mortgage protection with you.

05

Some mortgage protection products pay the lender.

You may want benefits to go directly to your loved ones so they can decide how the money is used.
