Liability Insurance/LLC vs Self owned

David Paul

Hey BP!

So I've been getting insurance quotes for a property I am purchasing to rent out. I was going to buy the property under a LLC, however my insurance provider stated that I would need to get a SEPARATE policy for personal liability under an LLC. This brought the price up significantly and cut my margins. So now I am considering closing under my personal name but the insurance lady stated that the maximum personal liability coverage is 300k without buying an additional umbrella policy for additional personal liability. I want to make sure I am making the right choice and hedging risk, but I am also concerned about how much is too much insurance and protection when it comes to cutting into profit margin.

You may want to give National Real Estate Insurance Group a call. Their President is a BP member and they offer insurance with the higher liability limits and things like that.
