What coverage is a MUST? What's unnecessary?
I'm shopping around for insurance for my first duplex. I won't have a LLC for now, no umbrella coverage either. What are recommended values of:
- Liability protection?
- Medical Payments?
- Loss of Rent (what period should be covered)?
- My appraisal value roughly equals asking price. How much over the sale's price should I have the Dwelling be covered for?
- Damage by a Dog (many residents have dogs in the area)?
Do I need PERSONAL PROPERTY to be covered? Am I liable for tenants' personal property damage?
Do I need FIRE damage coverage?
Do I need coverage for damage by a dog (many residents have dogs in the area, but current tenants of this duplex don't have pets)?
Do I need "Other Structures Coverage"? (There's only a low wooden fence and a lawn besides the main structure).
Thanks.
