I researched everything from crime rates and local attractions to earthquakes and flood zones. 

Even though it's our family home (my parents purchased it in 1964 and completely rebuilt it in 1995 after the Northridge earthquake), I'm ready to move on.From what I've read, Indiana and Illinois are good areas to look for properties.

Hi, first a request: Do you know of a reasonably priced earthquake insurance provider (that covers Washington state)?

*You also want to do your homework to see if the home you like is in a flood plain or earthquake zone.

We know this is earthquake country, and this house built in 1950, and is still standing after several of them.  

I was wondering if anyone here had any good experiences with insurance companies in this area.We are looking for fire insurance and earthquake insurance for an old 5 unit rental property.Thanks

Hello BP friends, I wanted to get some opinions on the coverage I think is the best for me, but is the most expensive..This quote for $1377 annually covers the followingBuilding/Earthquake - $130,000Personal Property - $6,000Personal and advertising injury - $1,000,000General aggregate liablity - $2,000,000medical- $5,000The positive about this is that it's a commercial policy and not a personal line of coverage.

(Think earthquake, flood or tornado)Yes, you can still invest in such a market, but know your exit strategy and buy at the right price.  

While working there I got an oppurtunity to build the framing phase of a house with a volunteer group shortly after hurricane Katrina hit and fell in love.From then on I took on an apprencticeship and worked at the New 49er stadium, San Jose Earthquake stadium, New Facebook Campus for Commercial work and I also spent a couple years building custom homes in the range of $5Mill-$25Mill.I currently work for a GC doing Tennant remodels for large tech companies in SF. 

Literally attempting to drive profits from an event that killed 1,000 + Human being in Haiti.
