Condo Insurance

December 4th, 2018 at 03:26 pm

Every year my mortgage company asks me to provide proof that my property management company is insuring my condo building. Last year was a disaster. Even though I did everything I could, there were mess ups in communication and the lender charged me $2400 for insurance. Well, more than charged me -- they took it from my savings account. It was finally straightened out, but it was an awful experience.

So this year, when I got the notice again, my stomach tightened up immediately. The first notice I received said "Second and Final Notice," so I was already mad. Luckily, my property management contact responded quickly. She faxed a copy to the number provided, and she sent me an attachment which I uploaded to the lender's website. Today I called to make sure they acknowledged receiving it, since I never got an acknowledgement. It has been received. Whew. I think I'm in the clear, but with this gang, you never know. For this reason alone I can hardly wait to pay off my mortgage.

No more spending to report. No extra income.

I'm hoping to have a productive day and get a lot done.

    Just reading your post brought up all the memories of when I had to deal with a mortgage company that pulled that.
    So frustrating!

    Hope that's all there is to it this year!

    Wow, I would be nervous too. Hope you get it all taken care of without all the troubles from last year.

    Hi CB, you used to have your mortgage info on your sidebar, but I see that it is gone. Are you still tracking your extra payments? I also see your long-term goal for a new living space without stairs. Do you plan to sell your condo?

    I am behind on reading your blog, but I am catching up. Smile

    Petunia, I took the financial details off my sidebar because someone was leaving cruel comments on my blog, and I felt too exposed. But don't worry, I am tracking everything!

    I have not done extra mortgage payments for several years, because I realized I would need the money in savings for my gap year (low-income year). It will be several more years before I can pay off the mortgage, even after I get back to better income.

    New space -- yes, I need it. I have to navigate three flights, and it's getting harder. I will need to move in the future, but again, not until I start receiving my full Social Security income, which will happen this August.

    I'm so sorry to hear someone was making cruel comments. I think you have done a great job with the resources you have had.

    When the time comes, will you look for your next home in the same area? Just nosy. Smile
