Picking insurance from 2 options for my first rental property
I received 2 quotes for a 1929 built SFR in Indianapolis IN. It is a 1100 sq ft 3 bed 1.5 bath with detached garage, backyard, and an unfinished basement.
The difference in the premium for both options is significant, so I am seeking opinion on if it is work going with the higher cost option.
