    Are you not required to have a joint life assurance policy as a condition of a mortgage in the US?

        You literally beat me to this reply by like 4 minutes haha. Banks were giving variable mortgages to people who could barely afford current rates, they don’t give a shit.

          I would never ever take an adjustable rate mortgage. That is just begging to get fucked. Like right now for example. My mortgage is like 4.2% but if it were an adjustable id be at like 6+% and be out of a house.

      Not anywhere that I’ve seen, just home owners insurance and mortgage insurance if you pay less than 20% down.

      Nope, at least not for my mortgage. The only thing that was required was a home owners insurance policy.

      I bought last year and there was nothing in the process that wanted either of us to have life insurance.
