Insurance for House Hack

[Brandon Johnson]

Hey BP Family,

I’m in the process of buying a Duplex for House Hacking and I’m curious to know what specific protections in my home insurance is recommended since I’ll be renting one of the units.

Also as a landlord should I require the tenant to obtain Renters insurance or just recommend (maybe even charge monthly for not having it??) ?

Any responses and advice will be helpful as this the beginning of my landlord journey and I have no experience.

Thank you,
