Pay at once if you’re getting a benefit. I build it into escrow for ease
I prefer to pay my own property taxes and homeowners insurance. My mortgage was sold right at the time tax payments were due, and both the old and new servicer paid my taxes. Then the new servicer tried to jack up my payment to refill my escrow that they had mistakenly taken an extra payment from.
It took me months to sort that out, with both servicers pointing fingers and trying to tell me I had to request a refund from the county to fix their mistake.
At the next refi I chose not to have any escrow, and I just set aside money into a separate savings account every two weeks so I always have it ready when the bill comes.
Ugh that sounds awful
As an FYI- even if you escrow your taxes/insurances- the escrow company will only pay each of them 1x a year- so you should still get the discount OP. Although I prefer to create my own “fake escrow” and then pay each whenever they’re due
Not entirely accurate. I've had at least 2 services which paid out twice a year.
I also waived escrow withholding on my house. I get the 1x/yr insurance lump payment benefit, and I get 2% interest while it's accruing in my own savings account. It's not much interest, but I'd rather earn that small % than let the mortgage company earn it. 😉
