ADVICE

Prioritize Landlord Insurance

  • Don't rely on homeowners insurance for rental properties since it typically doesn't fully cover rental risks.
  • Get landlord insurance, which is specifically designed for rental property risks including liability and loss of rental income.
ADVICE

Meet Lender Insurance Standards

  • Check with your lender early to meet stricter insurance requirements and avoid loan closing delays.
  • Ensure coverage meets lender demands on property value, liability limits, flood insurance, and deductible caps.
ADVICE

Insure Short-Term Rentals Properly

  • Use specialized insurance or endorsements for short-term rentals like Airbnb, as standard landlord policies often exclude coverage.
  • Customize your short-term rental insurance to protect against guest-related damages and liability risks.
