Home insurance may help protect your home and its contents in case of theft, loss or damage to the inside and outside of your home or property. It may also help you cover additional living expenses if you're temporarily unable to live in your home. These additional living expenses may include living in a hotel or renting a home.Generally, your home insurance policy covers you and your family members. If you share your home or rent out a part of your home to a friend, relative, or roommate, you must let your insurance company know.Home insurance claims can be rejected due to exclusion clauses, delay in reporting, failure to disclose information or give false information, and insufficient evidence. Shop around, get quotes, and compare policy details, such as coverage and cost. Some policies may be cheaper but may not offer the same level of service or coverage.Before getting insurance, take the time to determine the type and amount of insurance coverage you need. Consider reviewing your insurance needs on a regular basis as they may change over time. Read the policy carefully before signing. Make sure you understand what your policy does and does not cover. Ask your insurance agent or broker about anything you don't understand.Featured on the Show:Kumssa Hassan BIG Insurance Aurora Follow UsTwitterInstagramFacebookYouTubeTikTok

Today we're diving into a fascinating topic that's been making waves in the lending industry: prime mortgage lending and private mortgage lending. Whether you're a homeowner, a potential homebuyer, or simply interested in the world of real estate, this episode will shed light on the key differences and implications of these two types of lending. Prime mortgage lending refers to traditional lending practices offered by banks and other financial institutions. These lenders follow strict underwriting guidelines, ensuring borrowers meet specific criteria, such as a good credit score, stable income, and a low debt-to-income ratio. Prime mortgages are typically associated with lower interest rates, higher prepayment privileges, standard amortizations of 30 years or less, and are considered less risky for lenders due to the rigorous evaluation process. Private mortgage lending, also known as non-prime or alternative lending, offer a different avenue for borrowers who may not qualify for prime mortgages. Private lenders are typically individuals or small companies that are not subject to the same strict regulations as traditional banks. This allows them to consider other factors when evaluating borrowers, such as the property's value, potential rental income, or the borrower's equity. Private mortgage lending can be a lifeline for those with less-than-perfect credit scores, self-employed individuals, or even real estate investors. In conclusion, understanding the differences between prime mortgage lending and private mortgage lending is essential for anyone navigating the world of home financing. Prime mortgages, offered by traditional lenders, follow strict guidelines and are ideal for borrowers with good credit and stable income. Private mortgages, on the other hand, provide an alternative for individuals who may not meet the criteria for prime lending but still need financing for their real estate endeavors.Join us in the upcoming episodes as we bring in experts from the lending industry, share real-life stories, and provide valuable insights to help you make informed decisions about your mortgage needs.
