For variable costs you can get the factors, tax rates, insurance factors per thousand dollars of coverage and loan information.

Maybe ask them to grab coffee and tell you about their portfolio and their current insurance coverages.

I wanted to know what the bp community things is a safe range for leveraging rental properties in terms of debt to equity coverage on investment properties?

Lastly, look at your debt coverage ratio and ask yourself if you're comfortable with it.

If the structure itself isn't in the flood zone it shouldn't need the coverage.

It's too comprehensive and too buyer protective, IMO.

I am renting a farm and my lease says I need property damage coverage and I am responsible for any damages (so landlord is not responsible).I have liability coverage, which supposed to cover damages to a third party.

I shopped and found the same coverage with a smaller local company for $1625 per year, and then did not renew the one policy when it expired.

So it depends on individual carrier and policy coverage.
