A McAllen home is a thirty-year promise. Make sure someone can keep it.
Hidalgo County records hundreds of new mortgages every month. Every one of them is a long-term obligation attached to one or two working adults. Mortgage protection insurance is what pays that obligation off if one of those adults is gone – a cash benefit to your family, sized to your loan.

Built for Rio Grande Valley households
Many Valley families buy their first home on a single earner’s income, or with two incomes where losing either one ends the payment. That is exactly the situation mortgage protection is designed for: a benefit large enough to erase the loan, so the surviving household is not choosing between the mortgage and everything else.
It also matters for self-employed borrowers – contractors, drivers, small business owners – who have no group life insurance through an employer to fall back on.
Not the letter from your lender
Within weeks of closing in Hidalgo County, most new homeowners get mail referencing their exact loan amount and lender. Those are marketing pieces, usually for decreasing-term coverage where the payout shrinks each year while the premium does not.
A properly written policy keeps the full benefit for the entire term. If your balance drops to $80,000 and the policy still pays $200,000, your family keeps the difference – and on a first home, that difference is often the only cushion they have.

Frequently asked questions
Is this required to close on my house?
No. Mortgage protection insurance is completely optional and separate from anything your lender requires. It is not PMI.
Can I get it if I already closed months ago?
Yes. There is no deadline tied to your closing date – you can put a policy in place any time, though premiums rise with age.
What if both of us are on the loan?
Cover both. The surviving borrower still owes the full payment, so single-borrower coverage leaves half the risk in place.
What does it cost?
It depends on age, health and the benefit amount. A quote is free – call (361) 808-4988 and we will run the numbers with several carriers.
