    Wanna take a guess at one of the factors in how much you pay for insurance premiums in most US states?

    For people with poor credit, buying a house can be challenging — and expensive. Once you find a lender that’s willing to offer you a mortgage, you’ll probably have a higher interest rate than someone with good credit. And you could also pay significantly more for homeowners insurance.

    A NerdWallet rate analysis found that a person with good credit would pay $2,110 per year for homeowners insurance, on average. But in most states, someone with poor credit would see an average premium of $3,620 per year — over 71% more.
