#84: Don’t Be The Investor That Doesn’t Understand His Coverage… A Deep Dive on Insuring Multifamily Assets with Jeremy Goodrich

A topic that isn’t widely discussed on real estate podcasts is insurance, despite it being a piece of the business that investors can’t afford to screw up! In this episode, I’m chatting with Jeremy Goodrich of Shine Insurance, one of the most well-known insurance brokers in the business.

Before Shine, Jeremy was an elementary school teacher, helping countless kids fall in love with art, math, science, and writing. Eventually, Jeremy decided to make the career change to insurance and decided to specialize in working with multifamily investors. In this episode, we discuss the role of an insurance broker, common mistakes investors make in finding insurance, and what you need to include in your policies. We also talk about how you can build your team of service providers, which is a critical process for real estate investors!
