In Reno and metro areas, insurance companies primarily focus on roofs, the age of the building, wiring updates, and water pipes, as mentioned @Cameron Moore.

Put your best foot forward.For a water front house I always lead with the water.For you it could be the arcade room. 

Water heaters, furnaces, flooring, etc etc, all these things have known life expectancies.

However, I think some upcoming life changes may be the right opportunity for me to dip my toes in the water in real estate investing.I live in Pflugerville, TX (25 minutes from downtown Austin) and will soon be moving to Portland, OR, for my dream job.

I was told that they can do it as low as 5.75% for 12 mos, no docs just purely asset base, no prepayment penalty.I am new to this.

But I will have over a million in pure gross income coming in 25.  

Or is it purely an investment? 

The water fell 3 floors, when I observed the incident my neighbor was attempting the sweep water out the back door.
