A home is a home, whether it is a tradition brick home built from the ground up, or a manufactured mobile home you have selected and had personalized to your specifications. Therefore, just because your home is a mobile home does not mean you shouldn’t purchase a home owner’s insurance policy for it.

Thanks to the Internet, you can get a free mobile home owner insurance quote pretty quickly online. Just find a Web site owned by an insurance company that specializes in mobile home owner insurance, or a Web site that has access to many different insurance companies that specialize in mobile home owner insurance. Any insurance company from which you choose to get your mobile home owner insurance quote needs to specialize in mobile home owner insurance. Sometimes there are factors that go into mobile home owner insurance policies that don’t go into regular home owner insurance policies, so make sure the company you choose does indeed specialize in mobile home owner insurance before agreeing to anything.

You’ll then begin entering the necessary information. When you search for a mobile home owner insurance quote online, you are usually asked questions about your contact information; the manufacturer of the mobile home and the year it was manufactured; the size; the current lien holder if there is one; how far the mobile home is from the coast; and how close the mobile home is to the nearest fire department.

Some Web sites that offer mobile home owner insurance quotes will offer the quote instantly online; others will pass your information to an insurance agent who specializes in mobile home owner insurance. Regardless of how you receive your mobile home owner insurance quote and from what insurance company, make sure you talk directly to a live insurance agent and receive thorough paperwork about your mobile home owner insurance quote – and policy, should you choose to purchase one – before agreeing to anything.

We are buying our first house, and would like to know if anybody has any recommendations on the best homeowners insurance for our money. Thank you!

There is no way around needing Homeowners insurance if you are about to embark on the journey of purchasing a home. Depending on the size of the home, Homeowners insurance can cost as little as $400 a year to as much as $2000 a year, if not more in some parts of the country. The amount of Homeowners insurance you receive will also be determined by the value of the interior property, including the upkeep of remodeling on the home, as well as whether your policy will include valuable electronics and jewelry.

Once you have determined what type of policy you would like to implement, you can begin discussing yearly and monthly costs with insurance agents. One thing to keep in mind while you are searching for Homeowners insurance is that the rates won’t vary that much between each company, but there are small ways to save a few dollars to a few hundred dollars, simply by finding some Homeowners insurance discounts that are available.

One of the easiest ways to receive a discount on Homeowners insurance is to install a home security system, and not the type that barks and growls. Many insurance companies are actually paired up with security companies like ADT or Brink’s and will give you a discount for using that insurance company and that security company as well.

Even if you get Homeowners insurance and decide to go back later and install a security system, don’t forget to go back and call your Homeowners insurance company once the system is installed so that you can receive a discount on your insurance. Further discounts may be given for motion sensors or even for video surveillance cameras installed on the home.

Another great way to receive a small discount on your Homeowners insurance is through fire and carbon monoxide detectors and fire resistant doors, brick and even walls. Remember that not all companies will offer the same discount for fire resistance and fire protection, so it is best to do research on how much of a discount can be received before diving in to remodeling the entire house for fire resistance.

Keeping up with newer appliances is another excellent way to help receive a Homeowners insurance discount. Older appliances are more likely to develop bad electrical connections, which can make the home susceptible to fire.

The first place to begin updating appliances is in the kitchen because kitchens are on the top of the list for places where fires begin. Many other insurance companies will offer a discount for new plumbing and electrical systems, or simply for a home that is less than ten years old altogether.

While some homeowners aren’t willing to consider a higher insurance deductible, or the price they will pay before the insurance will begin paying for loss or damages, asking for price quotes with higher deductibles is an excellent way to receive a discount on your insurance.

Most Homeowners insurance companies start out with a minimum deductible of $250 to $500 dollars, but try raising the deductible by $250 and see how much this will save you a year. Often times, this can make a difference of nearly $100-$150 a year on the total insurance bill.

Remember, though, that if you choose this route, you may end up paying more than that $150 savings a year if something happens to your home and you have to pay the higher deductible. Simply weight the negatives and positives and decide if a higher deductible is right for you.

The final sure fire way to receive a homeowners insurance benefit is to belong to a club or certain group. This could simply mean being in the "65 and older" club and receiving a senior citizens discount, or it could also mean already being a member of the bank where you are looking to purchase Homeowners insurance. Some insurance companies also give a discount if you plan on having both your car insurance and Homeowners insurance with that company.

Before settling for the first set of numbers thrown at you by the insurance company, be sure to ask about these discounts and make your assets work for you when shopping for Homeowners insurance.

I’m interested in purchashing a log cabin in the North Georgia mountains. How much would home insurance cost if the home is approximately $160,000?

Found this info
"Homeowner’s insurance is no more expensive for a log home than for any other type of wood or wood framed home (that includes brick homes)."

I guess to be sure, you could call a company?
