Q:

A: Yes, you may use any insurance company you like as long as the coverage meets the minimum lender requirements
Q:
Your tax and insurance estimates in your GFE are too high/low - what will actually be collected?

Is the 30 days lock in period usually long enough to close my loan?
A: Yes, 30 days is sufficient as long as you are available during the escrow period. If you are subordinating a 2nd mortgage a 45 day lock is recommended
