Coverage real estate investors usually carry
The right policy depends on what you own and how you rent it. Single-family rentals, apartment buildings, and commercial buildings each need different coverage.
Property coverage
Repairs or rebuilds each building after a covered loss.
Liability
Covers injuries to tenants and visitors that you are found responsible for.
Loss of rents
Replaces rent you lose while a property is repaired after a covered loss.
Umbrella
Adds liability limits across your whole portfolio.
Vacancy coverage
Keeps coverage in place while a property sits empty or under renovation.
Earthquake
Written separately for buildings where it makes sense or a lender requires it.
What affects insurance costs for investors
Each building is priced on its age, construction, location, and condition. Older Los Angeles buildings with original roofs, wiring, or plumbing can be harder to insure and cost more.
How you hold and rent the property matters too. Long-term rentals, short-term rentals, and vacant properties are priced differently, and LLC ownership needs the policy written correctly so coverage follows the right entity.
Ways to lower your premium
- Combine properties on one policy when a carrier allows it
- Require tenants to carry renters insurance
- Document roof, electrical, and plumbing updates
- Choose deductibles that fit your reserves
- Tell us before a property goes vacant or into renovation

Real estate investor questions
Don't see yours? Call (310) 751-5979 and ask.
Can I insure properties owned by an LLC?
Yes. The policy should name the LLC as the insured so coverage follows the entity that owns the property. We set that up when we quote.
Can several properties share one policy?
Often, yes. Combining properties can simplify renewals and sometimes lower the cost, depending on the carrier and the mix of buildings.
What happens when a property is vacant?
Many policies limit coverage after a property sits vacant for a set period. Tell us when a property will be empty or under renovation so we can keep it covered.
Do I need an umbrella policy?
Most investors with more than one property benefit from one. An umbrella adds liability limits across your portfolio for a relatively small cost.
