Being an Investor and a Insurance agent
I have been in sales for 3 years now. I am making the switch over to being a third party insurance agent in about a month to give myself some more freedom. Can anyone please tell me the pros and cons of being an insurance agent and an investor of mainly buy and hold properties? (plan to do a flip or two as well). Is their any legal liabilities I should watch for when insuring my own properties? (one duplex at the moment, but another coming in 6 months or so). Thanks for your time reading!
