Insurance for co-living PadSplit property

Insurance for co-living PadSplit property

Investor · Denver, CO · Member since 2015 · 1 post · 2 votes

Hello,

I am under contract for a 4200 sq ft house that I plan to convert to an 11 bedroom, 5 bathroom co-living PadSplit house. I have been working with insurance brokers to quote insurance for the property. My usual insurance broker is telling me that the usual landlord policy providers will not provide insurance on a property that will have more than 5 leases on it. In this case, I plan to have 11 leases for 11 bedrooms. So, they looked at their commercial providers, and I received an initial quote for $9,000 per year, which is about twice as much as I was expecting. 

What do you all do for insurance on your units? 

Do you have someone you can recommend who understands and insures co-living and pad split properties?

    Check with Steadily and NREIG, as both insurors are built for rental properties. You may still need a commercial policy due to the high # of leases, but start with the residential carriers. As a precaution, I would also check with the city to make sure your property is staying within the occupancy limits. Many cities have limits on how many non-family members can live in one house.

    So I have a co-living insurance policy at replacement cost with rental loss coverage - Steadily only works when its 4 bedrooms or less and they really don't want it (usually causes non-renewals). Let me know if we can help!
