OUTSIDE of coastal counties/cities (within 60 miles of the Gulf & East Coast), wind/hail deductibles are typically 1% or 2% of the building limit on file, and can many times come with a minimum deductible as well (typically $5,000 or $10,000).

@Steve Vaughan  when we went through the 08 to 2010 debacle and over 200 landlords handed me back their houses.. and lost ALL their money... it was an eye opener and they were all landlords all west coast based   a few on east coast.but they walked..

However generally from working with 2-3 other PMs in the west coast, I am 100% fine paying more of a premium each month for a PM that is transparent and is able to give more time to communication.

I am exploring this area and have heard some noise regarding the further limitations on beach access points along the coast, creating some havoc for str owners.
