How it works
Which kind of policy fits
- Level term life
- The payout stays the same for the whole term, such as 15, 20 or 30 years. Many homeowners match the term to the years left on the loan.
- Decreasing term life
- The payout shrinks over time, roughly in step with the loan balance. It usually costs less than level term.
- Lender mortgage life insurance
- Some lenders offer coverage that pays the lender directly. With a policy through Eric, the payout goes to the beneficiaries you name, and they decide how to use it.
Mortgage protection is not private mortgage insurance (PMI). PMI protects your lender, not your family. Terms, riders and eligibility vary by carrier and policy.
