SFR insurance costs in North Texas, how much are you paying?

Hi guys, I get the feeling I'm getting gouged. I have 10 SFR's in Grayson county, an hour north of Dallas. Values on the houses range from 50k-70k. Currently I'm paying 800-900 dollars a year per house in insurance. I went to pay premiums yesterday on 4 or 5 houses and all the premiums payments for the quarter had gone up 10 bucks or more, without notice.

I'm currently insured through Columbia Lloyds.   Who do you have that is a better bargain?

You should shop around, that sounds high to me. I have 3 SFRs,  Mesquite, Princeton and Sherman, all valued  $110k- $125k,  and the premiums are $800-$975. I am currently with Allstate.

    @Roger S.

    Search online for an insurance broker they will shop multiple companies (some you probably have never heard of) for the best rates.  Its always a good idea to shop insurance rates every two years.

    Mine are 140K dollar houses in Mesquite and Garland and they are about $900. 

    What deductible are you carrying?

    500 dollar, which is about the same as 1%.   I did a comparison on 500 and 1000 dollar deductible and the savings were negligible, at least with this company.
