That is the primary reason I said to do it yourself, not let the company set it up for you. This way if anything does happen and they are financially unable pay extra, they can pay what they are only required to, but if you let the mortgage company set it up for you, you are bound to those payments.

Thanks all! It is so nice to be able to talk to others (DH is not much help, LOL) and get fresh ideas without "our" friends knowing everything. KWIM
