Insurance Hub
Investor & Landlord Insurance Hub
From Closing to Coverage™ is our investor-minded approach to insurance: we connect contract, lease, and policy so your asset, cash flow, and compliance are protected from day one.
Why Insurance Matters for Rental Assets
Cash-flow protection
Lender + lease compliance:
Risk transfer that fits your strategy
Portfolio standardization
Claims readiness
Coverage Checklist
Core
Dwelling (Replacement Cost vs. ACV)
Other Structures (sheds/garages)
Landlord-owned Personal Property (appliances/window units)
Loss of Rents / Fair Rental Value (target 12–24 months)
Premises Liability (≥ $1M) + Umbrella where appropriate
Medical Payments to Others
Common Endorsements
Water/Seepage/Backup (sump/sewer)
Service Line (underground pipes/wires)
Equipment Breakdown (HVAC, appliances, systems)
Ordinance or Law (code upgrades)
Vandalism/Malicious Mischief
Animal Liability (as needed)
Special Considerations
Short-Term Rental (STR/Airbnb): Business income coverage, proper occupancy class, host/guest liability, party risk; ensure policy explicitly allows STR use.
Flood & Wind/Hail: Often separate policies or deductibles; consider private flood vs. NFIP.
Title/Entity: Name insured should match deed (LLC/trust) and management structure.
Transition Triggers
(When to review or change coverage)
New purchase/closing or refinance
Vacancy beyond your policy’s limit (often 30+ days)
Tenant move-in/move-out or rent-ready work
Renovation or value-add (permits, scope changes)
Converting LTR → STR/MTR
Title changes (LLC/trust) or adding co-owners
New risk features (pool, trampoline, wood stove, short-term stays)
Major system/roof updates (often premium credits!)

FAQs
Yes—business income protection preserves ROI during covered repairs and speeds recovery.
We strongly recommend requiring it in your lease, with you listed as the interested party. It protects the tenant’s belongings and can respond to some tenant-caused losses.
Usually no. You’ll likely need a landlord/DP-3 or LRO/STR-appropriate policy so claims aren’t denied for occupancy misclassification.
No. Treat them as limited programs, not a replacement for real insurance.
If you have multiple doors or higher exposure, an umbrella can be a cost-effective way to increase protection above your base policy.
