I am going to see if I can switch to a local Wisconsin insurance that reflects our local risk level in their premiums.Many of the homes in the Pacific Palisades are 3-5 million, but when you look on Google Street View, most are very modest homes from the 1960s (there are some $20m ultra luxury mansions too), so a lot is the land value, the home replacement value on a 1600sqft may be what - 500k at the most?

I have a rental down the street that was my primary for a few years, so I am not just someone looking for a quick deal.

Is your goal to use being an agent for your own personal investments or actively try and grow your agent business to eventually leave your W2?

Won't be really actively looking until late March or April.
