Before I purchase an insurance policy I wanted to seek some guidance on the best way to proceed.I received 1 quote so far for a HO3 policy that has 600k+ of dwelling coverage, 70k of additional structure, 450k personal property, 200k loss of use, 500k liability, and a few extras like equipment breakdown, water backup, service line.
