Hi Everyone,

Thank you in advance for any feedback and support you can provide me with. I have a home in north east Arizona, Pinetop-Show Low area that I am looking to start doing Airbnb/VRBO/STR with. Currently I have a regular primary homeowner insurance policy on the house as it was our primary home for the past year. Now it is just our secondary, and my family will go up once every month or two months, but the rest of the time it will be rented as a STR. However, due to the whole area now being deemed by insurance companies as a "fire-risk" zone, I can't find a single insurance company to put a STR endorsement on a regular home owner policy up there. I can get a primary without a STR endorsement, and I can get a landlord policy. But it is my understanding from these companies that a landlord policy does not cover STR or any renters under 30/60/120 days depending on who you talk to. I have talk to 4 insurance brokers, and directly to many companies such as allstate, steadily, safeco, liberty, american summit, american family, and a few other, but am basically out of options. Any suggestions on what to do?


 Ugh that sucks. My 2 pieces of advice are: 1.call Proper insurance, they specialize in short term rental insurance, 2. Join local Facebook groups in that area and ask other people where they got their short term rental insurance through. Good luck, hope you find something!


 Thank you. Proper denied me already. Hadn't thought of number 2, will try that now. Thanks again.

Have you tried Proper Insurance or Foremost?  


 Yes, both denied unfortunately.

@Nick C. Hey Nick, sounds like good advice to me. Can I ask how you might suggest getting started instead. I’ve been looking at mostly wholesale deals as a new investor myself so I am curious.

Congrats Toi, glad to hear you did good due diligence and got the seller to work with you!

@Shiloh Lundahl I just saw this and missed the December 12th meet up, do you have another upcoming one on the books by chance?

very interested in attending the next event you hold!
