Shopping for a new insurance company

Hello Everyone,

I currently have 9 rental properties with Safeco. I noticed that my insurance cost increased a bit the last 12 months. An example is my last purchase in August of 2018. The insurance cost was about $670 for a 1973 3 bedrm, 2.5 bathroom 1420 sqft house. I am currently in the process of purchasing another similar town house in the same complex. The quote I got today was $800. Apparently there has been a $130 increase in the last six months.

I am looking for recommendations of good, affordable insurance companies. I prefer one that will give me some kind of discount for multiple properties.

I’ve had good luck with allstate. My agent had to go to the company to get more than 6 rentals covered but I got a very good deal on the rentals, my home and the car. 20% off each policy for having al 3 kinds. My average is just under $600/year on $300k homes with 300/300 limits because of umbrella.

I’ve made 2 x $30k water damage claims (toilet supply liens broke in two different homes a year apart.) they sent service-pro to clear up water and prevent mold. Fixed everything and didn’t increase my rates. They even returned one deductible after suing the supply line manufacturer.
