Multi-family Investment Property, Insurance Needs
Hello BP community,
I am under contract on my first investment property, a tri-plex in the Fox Valley.
The property will not be owner-occupied, and thus I understand "Homeowners" is not the appropriate insurance type. While reading BP forums, a post referenced ""Dwelling/Fire" (also called Landlord by some carriers) Policy". I am unsure of the amount or type of coverage is appropriate or safe, and I fear my greenness will lead me to either over-pay/over-insure or underinsure.
The topic of investment insurance is extremely foreign to me and so any information would be extremely helpful. Is there anyone in the Fox Valley/Wisconsin area that has information or an agent referral?
Building Replacement/Rebuilding costs vs Depreciated Value, adequate coverage for loss of rents, optional coverages that may be important(Water Backup, Personal Injury Protection, Equipment Breakdown, Utility Line coverage,...)
Thanks so much!
