The different coverages available include dwelling insurance which is your physical home, other structures (such as a barn), and more. Other coverages include personal property (everything inside your home), loss of use, personal liability, and medical payments. You will want to pick an insurance plan that meets all of your needs and covers as much as possible. For instance, medical payments if someone injures themselves on your property.

Cost not only depends on the type of coverage but also on several other factors. These factors include your credit history, the value of the house, the age of the home, and location. If you live in a city with a multitude of break-ins, your insurance will be higher. Also, if you live in a rural area your premium will be higher. This is because if there is an emergency, such as a fire, it will take longer to reach your house.
