Am I over-insured? Wasting my money or protecting my assets?
I want to be more focused on cash flow. I am in the process of purchasing my 8th investment property. Is insurance something you should look at when you are trying to maximize cash flow? I heard a guest say he only covers them for cash value and it saves him tons of money which increases his cash flow. Of course, I am being told/sold to protect myself. I will give a few examples of my coverages. They are all similar because they were all set up/sold to me by the same person. I use a company that rhymes with Great Harm and my wife's uncle is our agent.
