Close to six in ten Farmers Branch households rent rather than own, which makes it unusual among the DFW cities we write and changes the life insurance arithmetic completely. Harvey Insurance helps Dallas County families size coverage around what actually has to be replaced when there is no mortgage in the picture.

Harvey Insurance is a trusted local agency serving families and businesses across Texas, Oklahoma & Arkansas — backed by America’s most reputable carriers.
Almost every explanation of how much life insurance to buy starts with the mortgage, and for most Farmers Branch households there is not one. That leads a lot of renters to conclude the product is not for them, which gets the logic backwards. Take the mortgage out and what remains is the part that was always the larger number: the income itself, and the costs that appear when a household loses an adult. Rent does not stop, and unlike a mortgage it rises. Childcare, which two working adults may have been splitting between them, becomes a purchased service at market rates the moment one of them is gone — and in this metro that is a five-figure annual line item per child. A surviving partner may need to reduce hours, retrain, or move, and each of those has a cost measured in years. Set against that, the way to size coverage without a mortgage to anchor it is to work from the household’s annual costs rather than its assets: multiply the income that would disappear by the number of years the family would need to absorb the loss, add childcare and education, add final expenses, and subtract whatever savings genuinely exist. The number that comes out is usually larger than renters expect and the premium is usually smaller, because term life is priced on age and health rather than on whether you hold a deed.
