isn't the purpose of insurance to cover accidents/defects?

This is the page at the beginning of an insurance policy that lists the limits of insurance, deductibles, etc.

I am putting 25% down at a 3.25% interest rate so my mortgage with HOA of $334, insurance, and property taxes will be about $2640.

Here are the details:$319k (with an ARV of $319k)15 bed / 6 bathGross rent: $9050/monthMortgage: $2799.45 (100% financing at 10%)Total Operating Expense $3849.33/month (Maintenance 17%, Vacancy 7%, tax and insurance included)Monthly Cashflow: $2401.21If you have any thoughts on this property, I'd love to hear them.  

When you do close on a property, right away get an insurance policy that will protect you against most losses.  

I do think the current regulation standards are based on complete nonsense.

@Scott Taylor   E & O = Errors and Omissions  insurance.. virtually every realtor has it.and if you make a monetary claim against a realtor they usually turn it over to the E & O carrier if the claim is sufficient enough.. many of these policies have 5k deductables.Also in most forms and we are going through this right now on a deal I am the seller on in PA were the buyer literally backed out day of closing and wanted their 10k back.. and of course I told them no greaking way.. so we are going to mediation.. and mediation is cheap there only 250 an hour.. the buyer has not appointed an attorney and my Agents will represent me..

For that reason, she didn't even have flood insurance.

Do not try to do everything yourself.Always do the math analysis and try to look at the subject property before you make an offer or at least have a clause in the sales contract that allows you the time (usually about 15 days) to make a detailed inspection and possibly back out of the deal without a penalty that hurts   Right after you close on a deal get an insurance policy that will protect you in case of a loss.Just do what is average for the neighberhood.  

Of course, any RE investment can have a bad year, so you also need to account for the possibility that taxes, insurance, or mortgage payments may not be fully covered by rental income if you have a lot of vacancy due to repairs, low rental demand etc  - basically what is the worst case scenario cash-flow and expense wise?
