Roxann, I would think it would be hard to get a mortgage without , first, 
fire insurance.  This might be one of thiose "chicken or egg type quesions".
Do you have a coplue of big fire extinguishers?  Where I grew up, everyone 
kept a 'fire break' cut down around their property.  I don't know if you do 
that in the ozarks..........
