Quote from @Nathan Gesner:

They offer insurance because it makes them money. They don't make money by paying out.

Skip it and keep a reserve.


Building my reserve is what I'll be doing going forward rather than banking on insurance. Thank you for the feedback.

Quote from @Garfield M.:

I wouldn't buy appliance insurance. I don't buy used either.

To save money on appliances, I usually buy discount gift cards online from Ebay or Cardcookie (best to buy them in January as people try to offload xmas gifts). The cards I buy are for BestBuy or Lowe's. I take the cards to my local BestBuy or Lowe's outlet stores where you can find open box items. You can typically save over 40% off retail price this way. You might have a small scratch on it but most of the times it's barely noticeable. 

Great info! I never knew about discounted gift cards. Thank you for the feedback.

Quote from @John Underwood:

I have heard many stories about how lite the insurance covers and how long repairs have taken. Like over 30 days for AC in the summer. I will never use it.

I buy good clean used appliances and have many issues repaired by an appliance guy.


 Noted! Thanks for the reply, John

Trying to determine if I should get home appliance insurance on a rental property. Any thoughts about obtaining this type of insurance?

@Andrew Bang my profile should have been updated prior to me posing. It's updated now, thanks for pointing that out! I'm located in Indianapolis.

Hello,

To an experienced investor who has flipping experience or has been through the BRRRR strategy, can I shadow you through a deal?

Prior to this happening, let's connect so that you can learn a little more about myself and my goals as a new inspiring investor. 

I have been house hacking my condo during the pandemic and this this something I want to continue to build on.
