Frequently Asked Questions
What is so important about Loss of Rents?
You depend on the income from your rental properties for your livelihood. You rely on growth and cash flow, which is primarily generated from rents from different properties in your portfolio. When damage occurs or repairs are delayed, you lose money. Having a loss of rent insurance coverage is the only way to protect the money.
What does loss of rents coverage cover and for how long?
Loss of rents coverage will insure lost income from damage caused by certain hazards, such as storms and fires, up to the policy limit. Loss of rent, normally up to 12 months, will be reimbursed. Loss of rent coverage excludes some damage to property. For example, most policies exclude loss of rent coverage for flood or earthquake damage. Loss of rent coverage will not respond to damage due to negligence from the property owner. For example, if a home becomes uninhabitable due to mold resulting from a leak the owner failed to repair, then the policy would most likely not cover the related loss of income. Our real estate investor insurance experts are ready to discuss this coverage in detail and help make sure your policy protects your future income.
What is a Flat Deductible?
A flat deductible is a specific dollar amount identified in the policy, which applies to each loss. For example, if we assume you have a property policy with a $5,000 deductible and a total limit of $500,000, and your home sustains a $100,000 loss due to a fire, then you will receive a $95,000 claim payment (if no coinsurance exists). This is determined by subtracting the deductible from the loss amount.
What is a Percentage Deductible?
A percentage deductible applies to perils that can cause catastrophic losses, such as hurricanes or earthquakes. These percentage deductibles are especially common in areas subject to a particular peril, such as hurricanes in coastal areas. In another example, if we assume your policy has a five percent hurricane deductible, the same $500,000 total limit, and sustains a $100,000 loss from a hurricane, then the claim payment would be $75,000. This is determined by subtracting the deductible, $25,000 (5% x $500,000) from the loss amount.
What type of Deductible do I need?
Insurance policies typically have two different types of deductibles, flat and percentage.
The applicable deductibles can vary based on the level of risk exposure for the real estate investment. Increasing both deductible types will reduce premiums. We have many years of experience understanding deductibles and are here to help you consider what deductibles may be best for your particular real estate investments.
What is the purpose of a General Liability policy?
A general liability policy’s purpose is to provide financial protection based on the third-party liability risks associated with an investment property. After an investor purchases the first SFR (single-family residence) investment home, they will most likely purchase a general liability policy to protect against third-party claims. As the investor grows their portfolio, a desire to reduce premium costs might induce an investor to add additional SFRs to a single general liability policy.
Why is adding additional SFRs (single family residence) to a single general liability policy potentially a costly mistake for the investor?
Assuming you purchase a general liability policy with a one million dollar limit based on one SFR (single-family residence) investment property, and over the course of the next year, you add four additional single-family investment homes, your actual exposure to a third-party liability claim would be significantly higher with five homes.
In addition, while a policy limit of one million is adequate for one home, if you experienced a large claim at one location, then your policy limit will erode, and it’s likely that it won’t be adequate protection against future claims.
When would a per location policy be better for the SFR Investor?
Whether you have one SFR investment or one hundred SFR homes, our team is ready and available to help you review your general liability policy structure and determine the best fit based on your needs as a real estate investor.
