Top Takeaways:


The number one real estate insurance misunderstanding - 7:00 - 8:30

Commercial policies are much more flexible than homeowners’

This means a lot more risk is carried than in a traditional home policy

This is why it’s important to understand the language of your policy

Getting started with real estate insurance - 8:45 - 11:30

Lending under your personal name is usually easier to accomplish than under an entity

Single family claims exceeding $1 million are exceedingly rare

This gives rise to the standard commercial liability of $1 million

After 8 to 10 units, personal lending usually maxes out

After this point it generally gets easier to incorporate and get commercial policies

Umbrella policies tend to be more efficient for scaled operations than individual

Understanding types of policies - 13:00 - 20:00

General liability - protects for personal injury or the property from property damage

These general policies go by many names so if you’re not sure ask

The basic needs are property coverage and general liability coverage

Umbrella policy - extends a general liability policy to the necessary risk profile
