Houston Investors...Did you/do you now have flood insurance?

[Emily Powell]

Houston investors... 

I currently own 4 SFRs in the Houston area.  I was very lucky and walked away with minimal damage following Harvey.  But I'm wondering whether this should be a wake-up call to get flood insurance on my properties going forward. They are all in Flood Zone X, but as we know, many houses in low risk areas did in fact flood.  

Just looking to get input from other Houston investors as to whether or not you have flood insurance and/or whether you may have acquired it following the recent devastation in the city.

For those that do have it, did it cover your damage?   

Thanks in advance for your feedback.
