Escrow account
An escrow account associated with a mortgage is an account that is maintained by the mortgage holder and funded by the mortgagee. Part of the monthly mortgage payment goes into this escrow account to pay for property insurance and property taxes.
Private Mortgage Insurance is a policy that covers the mortgage company in the event the home buyer defaults on the mortgage note. It is commonly referred to as "MI" and is usually obtained through the mortgage company. Mortgage Insurance does not cover the real property but rather the Mortgage Note. It comes under the category of Contract Performance Insurance and is in the Property and Casualty line. The term "private mortgage insurance" differentiates it from government insurance. Loan products such as FHA, VA and USDA Rural Housing loans also carry insurance but it is from the government and is built into the cost of the loan, rather than being purchased seperately.Answer:It is insurance that the lender forces you to buy if you do not have enough equity in the property (usually 20%). The insurance only protects the lender in the event the borrower defaults and the foreclosure sale does not bring enough to pay off the loan.

You don't HAVE to cover your property with homeowners insurance once your home has not mortgage but you could lose everything if you had a fire or if someone was injured on your property. Some HOA's require some type of insurance on every property regardless of mortgage. Its not a wise decision to drop coverage.
Property insurance is traditionally paid for by the buyer and is part of the mortgage financing contract. The property insurance is to cover the home and must name the mortgage financng entity as a co-insured mortgagee. It does not matter who does the financing.
