Landlord Insurance in Houston Tx

[Franky Juwana]

Hi Biggerpocketers, 

I was excited to have my offer accepted today, so then I was looking for landlord insurance and Geico, which the middle man, quoted me from sagesure Insurance for my SFR 200k in Cypress Houston $2772/year, I almost dropped from my chair.

I asked why it's so expensive, the agent said because there were alot of claims from the area. I was like.... duhhh... It was Hurricane Harvey  like a year ago. 

Anybody has input in which company that I could try, I dont want this landlord insurance become my deal breaker, because if I have to pay even more than $1000, I can't afford the house enough to make passive income. 

Any input is appreciated.
