Insurance claim -- should I?

[Michael S.]

Hi,

Looking for some thoughts on a decision I need to make in a home that was impacted by Hurricane Irma in jacksonville. The home had damage (roof needs to be replaced, bedroom flowing for wet and needs to be replaced, fence fell off). The roof was at its end of life and my deductible is about $2000.

I currently own 6 other homes and am closing on another and have concerns about the downstream rate increases for my other and future policies. 

So, I'm interested, should I our shouldn't I submit a claim?

Thanks!
