Home Warranty For Landlords

[Brett Goldsmith]

Looking for feedback from experienced Landlords. Do you suggest getting Home Warranty and renewing the policy for perptuality of owning the rental property? Any feedback on Home Warranty is welcomed. 

I own a few rentals and had home warranty but they elasped. Wondering if I should always be keeping this active on all rentals.

I've heard mixed reviews on home warranties.  My friend has one on her primary residence and has used it 3 times since purchasing without much hassle. But she was the first positive experience I had heard about.  The horror stories say it takes sometimes a week for the home warranty company to get a tech out to diagnose.  In the mean time you would have a tenant who is growing more angry with time. I have an investor who has a home warranty on her rental and when she tried to use it for a dryer the company told her 2 weeks to get a technician out there and likely another week if it needed to be replaced.  Not very good for tenant customer service. 

But on the other hand it has paid monetarily for those willing to be patient with it.  My friend got a new HVAC and above the stove microwave from her home warranty.
