Mortgage Insurance Cost
Why do people choose to separate Mortgage, prop tax, insurance payments?
Why do some people choose to separate their mortgage, property tax, & home insurance payments and pay all separately to the mortgage company, municipality, and insurance company instead of paying the lender (such as Countrywide) one escrow payment and letting them pay the bills separately? It seems easier to pay one bill instead of 3, and it is the same cost, so…?
Yeah the question is why, thanks for stating the obvious though.
The mortgage company benefits from your escrow account, meaning that you’re allowing them to hold your money, thus they make a percentage off that money, cause it’s in savings. Some people prefer to put the tax and insurance money into their own savings account, so they can make a little off of it, as opposed to the bank.
I’d rather have my own savings account for these things and benefit from the savings rate than have my mortgage company do it. It’s not that difficult to pay taxes and insurance yourself. Everything is done online.
Think about it…if the mortgage company has 100,000 mortgage loans out to people, and each one on average hands over $400 a month for their escrow accounts, that’s $40 million dollars every month the mortgage company holds in escrow for everyone. AND THEY ONLY PAY TWICE A YEAR IF YOU’RE LUCKY. Who’s benefitting from all that money in interest? NOT YOU that’s for sure.
