Home insurance is one of the most important things when it comes to your finances. Statistics have shown us that approximately one in three people will have their homes broken into at some point. This fact alone should encourage you to get some form of home insurance. It is so important that many times when you get a mortgage you must first agree to get insurance.

Something that a lot of people are unaware of is the fact that there are actually two home insurance kinds, building and contents. These insurance types are exactly what their names suggest. The building one is the insurance that actually protects the actual physical building that is your home. The contents insurance is the insurance that protects what is contained inside your home. In some cases [such as a fire] both the physical home and the things inside of it could be damaged.

Building insurance is the type of insurance that you could be forced to get when you get a mortgage. It can be expanded [at a cost] to include other things such as a swimming pool, garage, or fencing. On the other hand the mortgage lender cannot force you to purchase contents insurance. Contents insurance has more to do with how much you would like to protect your personal possessions. The mortgage lender does not have a stake in this, so they do not require you to buy this.

An important thing to remember about the cost of insurance is that it is not always as simple as you might think. For example, building insurance is based on the cost of rebuilding the property rather than the actual value of the property. It is important to know about things such as this and also to make sure that you do some real research to find the best deals.

You will want to make sure that you read the fine print of the different policies that you can choose from. There are often stipulations placed in them that you may not be aware of. If you are ignorant of these stipulations, then you may not be getting all that you thought you were with your insurance. The bottom line is that you should simply use common sense and understand the terms related to home insurance.

Returning from Nashville where Carol Ann and Laura celebrated their anniversary they found a pile of rubble where their dream home once stood. Despite numerous police reports documenting a neighbor that had threatened to burn down their home and who repeatedly told them the “…only thing better than one dead queer was two dead queers…” no arrests have been made. The Stutte home had no gas service and was all electric. Even with witness reports of two explosions and a fireball that could be seen above the treeline, that all waterhoses on the property had been cut and that “QUEER” had been painted on their garage the Monroe County Sheriff’s Department, Tennesse Bureau of Investigation and FBI have yet to rule the fire as an arson. What is even more disturbing is that the Stutte’s insurance company, American National Property and Casualty has yet to pay a dime to the Stutte family even though they had purchased coverage to provide them habitation and living expenses in the case of such a loss.
