Cut your Insurance Costs
- Insure the home, not the land. The purchase price of a home includes both. For example, if a $120,000 house sits on a parcel worth $20,000, you should pay insurance on the value of the house, or $100,000.
- Shop for the best deal. Check with at least three insurers. Ask friends or colleagues for recommendations.
- Increase your deductible. Instead of paying the insurance company, start putting aside funds to pay for minor damage or the deductible in cases of major claims.
