in order to ensure that you and your family live comfortably in your
new home for years to come. Here's some advice to get you started

Homeowners
need smart insurance tactics
When you buy a home
with a mortgage you're required, by the lender, to purchase a homeowners
insurance policy. But exactly what's in that policy is often vague to
buyers who are preoccupied with family moving issues. In the flurry

buying. But, after the dust of moving in has settled it's a good idea
to sit down and scrutinize that insurance policy.
