The basics: What is property insurance?
First, let's define property insurance yourself. It is an avoidance insurance policy that protects against property damage that occurs before purchase. A total of two guidelines were issued. "Homeowner Insurance" applies to homeowners and "Lender Insurance," sometimes called mortgage insurance, applies to mortgage lenders.
Other conditions you need to know
"ALTA" is a term you often hear when you take out insurance. ALTA is the American Landowners' Association; the leading trade association for insurance companies. ALTA guidelines are widely used in the US and preferred by many lenders.
In the case of property insurance, a security deposit refers to the funds you give as serious cash when you make your initial bid on the property. These funds are deposited into a special account by your trustee, often an insurance company, and are released after all obligations related to the purchase of the property are fulfilled.
