Quote from @Bill B.:

Please click on the magnifying glass in the upper corner and search this topic. Is is literally asked monthly if not weekly. It is a HORRIBLE IDEA!!!  You will end up paying for the tenant to stay at a hotel if water heater< ac or furnace goes out. 

They will come out in a couple days to look at the problem, order the part and come back in a couple days to see if the new part fixes it if they decide you aren’t to blame. Then when that doesn’t fix it they’ll order another part. 

Their entire business revolves around denying claims, trying bandaid fixes, and you getting frustrated and paying someone else to fix it. This sucks for your home, it’s unworkable for a rental where you are required to provide a habitable home or alternative housing. 


Very true. I don't have as much experience as Bill and what he's saying is 100% accurate. It has came in handy a couple times for me with my HVAC and plumbing, but it took a while for them to get a contractor out. And luckily my STR tenants have been pretty understanding. If it's an urgent issue and you have tenants in place, you can't really rely on them.

Yes definitely a great idea. If you have an older HVAC unit and you can show them that you have it serviced every 6 months, it can be a big money saver once it's ready to go.

Yes it seems somewhat accurate from my experience using it.
