Question by 3j k: Could paying down mortgage allow for a more beneficial house insurance policy ?
I remember seeing that the amount of coverage that mortgage companies enforce is too stringent. If one is living in a single family 0.33 acre lot without any side-walk, could you negotiate your premium down and also reduce the amount of insurance coverage on the house – once you have paid the mortgage down completely on your house ?
Are there other benefits on paying down your mortgage (ignoring the low interests in the market/etc) ?

We were supposed to have our insurance deductible raised, so our payment was actually supposed to go DOWN.
