Prevention of home damages
To prevent evictions and damages tenants might cause from filing those evictions, I see that people suggest having good insurance for a better protection to the house. Do you recommend getting good insurance to decrease the risk of home wreckage? From my understanding, screening tenants well, background checks, and getting good photos/videos are important but so are evictions and damage costs! How do I lower my chances if they were to cause serious damage or even minor damage for a low cost on my end? Do you have any insurance recommendations that I should look at? I see that some people use Geico. I rather run the risk of a little less cash flow than thousands of dollars for replacements and damage.
