Hoping like many to become a real estate investor over time, but for the moment I had a question which I'm having a lot of trouble figuring out:What would be the best / most appropriate insurance configuration in this situation:- My wife is the title holder for a single family home- She does not live at the home - Her parents live at the home, rent free- Her brother pays the mortgage on the home and he plans to rent out two rooms in the house to long term tenants (strangers)- Her parents will continue to live in the rest of the home, rent free (this is fine, just putting it here in case it affects the insurance)- My wife and I are able to visit the home at any time and do so regularly to see her parentsAll I want to make sure is that we (my wife) are covered from all angles on insurance.

If they show up without the dog (Rocky the dog doesn't like strangers......or whatever excuse) then that is part of the screening process and if you end up finding a "better qualified" tenant then that is their loss.I actually don't care what their credit score is or income is because I know the housing authority is covering 70-100% of their rent.

If you just pick the first one in the phone book or a Google search, or based on the recommendation of some stranger on the interwebs, then you're likely to have a bad experience and see no value.
