If the property in question is not paid off and there is still a mortgage to be paid, the mortgage company requires that the purchaser have full insurance coverage on the property. They do not want to lose their investment to a careless fire! If the property is paid for and there is a different person living in the house and paying rent, usually the property owner requires the renter to carry full coverage insurance on the house. I hope this is helpful and answers your question.
