Re: Avoid Mortgage Escrow?
Yes and some mortgage companies want a large buffer IN CASE your taxes and insurance go up during the year. Understandable. BUT, in our case this past year they started wanting 18.00 a month extra for buffer. That's 216.00 a year that we could be earning interest on ourselves. We NEED that interest for exactly the same reason - IN CASE our taxes and insurance go up - at least we'll have a head start on paying them. Needless to say, we pulled ours and pay ourselves monthly into a savings subaccount and then pull it out when it's time to make the payment.
