Estimate Insurance Quote

Hi Everyone,

Hope you had a good weekend!

Is there a back-of-the-napkin calculation for insurance quotes for small (2-4) multifamily properties? I'm looking for a quick way to add to my underwriting when I receive Seller Expenses that do not account for Insurance. Should I use, say 5% of purchase price? 3%? I'm looking in Kansas City, MO, if that helps.

Any insight would be much appreciated. Thank you!

@Snehann Kapnadak  Establish a relationship with an insurance agent and let them give you a quote there is not cost.  Why guess.
