Owning rental property is a smart investment, but it also comes with risks. That’s why having the right insurance is essential to protect your property, income, and peace of mind. Here are three of the most important protections every landlord in Allen, TX, should have.<\/p>\n

Dwelling Coverage<\/h2>\n

Dwelling coverage protects the physical structure of your rental property from damage caused by fires, storms, vandalism, or other covered events. It can insure a single-family home, duplex or multiunit building. <\/p>\n

At Texas Independent Insurance, we can look for a policy that also covers hail damage for hailstorms that occasionally hit Allen, TX.<\/p>\n

Without dwelling coverage, repairs or rebuilding would come out of your own pocket. You also likely won’t be able to get investment property financing if you don’t have this protection.<\/p>\n

Landlord Liability Coverage<\/h2>\n

If a tenant or visitor is injured on your property, you could face a lawsuit for their medical bills, pain and suffering, and lost wages. Liability coverage helps pay legal fees and settlements associated with such a lawsuit. Coverage usually begins when a covered lawsuit is filed, so you can get help with attorney and court fees before any final determination.<\/p>\n

Lost Rent Coverage<\/h2>\n

What happens if your rental becomes uninhabitable due to a covered loss? Lost rent coverage replaces the income you would normally receive from tenants while repairs are being made. Including this coverage with your real estate investing insurance policy helps maintain your cash flow and ensures your mortgage and expenses are still covered, so you can avoid foreclosure.<\/p>\n

Protect Your Investment Property<\/h2>\n

Protecting your rental property starts with the right insurance strategy. Contact Texas Independent Insurance to review your landlord policy and make sure you’re fully protected. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
