Insurance for Your Investment Property 

Owning investment property can be a rewarding way to build wealth, but it also comes with unique risks. Whether you’re a seasoned real estate investor or a first-time landlord, having the right insurance coverage is essential to protect your assets and your financial future. At Integrity Insurance Agency Inc, we understand the challenges property owners face and are here to help you navigate your insurance options.

Understanding Investment Property Insurance

Investment property insurance, often called landlord insurance, is designed specifically for properties that are rented out or held as investments rather than used as your primary residence. Unlike standard homeowners insurance, these policies address the distinct risks associated with rental properties, such as tenant-caused damage, loss of rental income and liability claims.

Key Types of Coverage

Before choosing an insurance policy, it’s important to understand the main types of coverage available. Each option serves a different purpose in protecting your investment.

• Property coverage—This coverage may financially protect the physical structure of your building against risks such as fire, storm damage or certain types of vandalism.
• Liability protection—This coverage may pay legal costs and damages if someone is injured on your property and you are found responsible.
• Loss of rental income—This option may provide compensation when your property becomes uninhabitable due to a covered loss, allowing you to recover lost rent.
• Optional add-ons—You can enhance your policy with additional coverage for equipment breakdown, flood protection or umbrella liability, depending on your needs.

Why Proper Coverage Matters

Pennsylvania’s real estate market is diverse, and local risks, such as severe weather or older building infrastructure, can impact your investment. Without adequate insurance, you could face significant out-of-pocket costs for repairs, legal claims or lost income.
