Do you HAVE to have homeowner's insurance if you have a mortgage?

I ask not because I do not intend on getting it, but, currently my auto insurance is with Progressive. I have been trying to view quotes for several houses I am interested in. Progressive will not provide quotes for some houses due to various reasons (such as age of house)…

Help Mortgage lenders!! I am suppose to close on a house today!?

I was suppose to close on a loan today at 3pm and the loan officer calls me up last night at 6 pm and said that she didnt factor in the right amount on the real estate taxes, PMI, and house insurance. Now the payment she quoted us from the beginning and what was on the Good Faith Estimate has jumped $300
