Assuming that you don’t pay down additional principal to your mortgage and check every few years it could be cheaper to have mortgage insurance early in a mortgage.
Interesting. That's super unusual. I've been offered mortgage insurance from a number of different combinations of lenders/insurers over the years, and it's never been even close to the cost of term.

Would you mind sharing the lender/insurer?
