So we closed over two weeks ago, the attorney is saying the lender forgot to add the 1-4 family rider, and want us to initial it as an addendum.. any thoughts?
Hypothetically, the property may or may not be student housing, and may or may not have more than 4 'families'
Would this impact my insurance at all? Are there any advantages or disadvantages to agreeing to sign?
I'm obviously not planning to default so I don't think it would ever be an issue anyway, but just hesitant to sign something after the fact.

You sign a document at closing that says you will sign all future required documents and correct any errors that may have occurred. If you do not sign, then they will call your loan due.

Jason,
The document you are signing is with the Mortgagee not the Insurance Company. What are you agreeing to / telling them in the document. Without more details it would be hard to determine if there would be any impact on your Insurance.
If you, for example, sign the Mortgagee document that there are students living in the units but on the Insurance application said that there is not, there could be an impact at claim time. That's the only thing I could see based on the info you mentioned.
