House Flipping Insurance Coverage

Flipping houses can be a rewarding and profitable endeavor, but it's not without potential dangers like property damage, theft, and liability. House Flipping Insurance gives you specialized coverage for these dangers, protecting you against the unique risks of buying, renovating, and selling properties.

What is House Flipping Insurance?

House Flipping Insurance are different types of insurance policies that cover real estate investors during the short term ownership of a property intended for renovation and resale. Standard homeowners insurance doesn’t cover the risks of properties under renovation or being prepared for sale.

Why Do I Need House Flipping Coverage?

Flipping a house exposes you to risks that regular homeowners don’t. Renovations increase the chances of accidents, theft, or machinery mishaps.

Without adequate coverage, a single accident or incident can turn a profitable flip into a financial disaster. House Flipping Insurance protects your investment from these unexpected events so you’re not left to pay out of pocket.

House Flipping Insurance Types

When flipping homes, selecting the right insurance coverage is crucial to protect against various risks associated with property renovations and vacancies.

How Much Coverage Do I Need?

The amount of coverage you need will depend on the scope of your project. Size of the property, extent of renovations, and duration of property vacancy will all impact the amount of coverage required.
