The housing world doesn’t need another problem, but it has one: insurance. The insurance scene is changing, and property insurers are either capping the number of policies they write, are stricter in underwriting, are refusing to write new policies altogether, are fleeing completely, or are raising rates. California and Florida (and sometimes Texas) seem to be the worst hit, and their home-insurance markets can feel dysfunctional, but as the severity of extreme weather events escalate, it’ll only magnify across the country. And landlords are obviously worried. More details here: https://lnkd.in/gHjTNFxA #multifamily #realestate

Perhaps the marketplace via higher insurance costs will motivate more real estate owners to invest in greener, energy-saving improvements, instead of cosmetic improvements. And, undoubtedly, Federal taxes will have to go up at some point to pay for the damage wrought by increasingly strong hurricanes. Coupled with higher health care costs caused by climate change Americans may finally conclude that it is in our economic best interest to be better custodians of our environment.
As Hurricanes Strike, Insurance Costs Soar for Commercial Real Estate

What happens if you’re underinsured? Being underinsured can have serious consequences. If a fire, flood, or other emergency affects your property and you need to make a claim, the gap between your coverage and the actual loss can cost you a lot of money. What is underinsurance? You are underinsured when your insurance policy doesn't cover the full cost of a loss. This can happen if you underestimate the cost to rebuild your property or to replace your items. If you do not update your policy regularly due to rising costs, you may become underinsured. A flood in a Hampshire village damaged a family-owned pub. The property was insured for £200,000, but the true cost to rebuild was £400,000. The repair costs were £40,000, but the insurer only paid £20,000 because of the 50% underinsurance. The landlord had to pay the remaining £20,000, leading to financial problems and a long dispute with the insurance company over the claim limit. This guide from RebuildCostASSESSMENT.com gives practical tips on how to protect your building and finances.
