No wonder! I would LOVE to live there--but, I have no idea how we'd ever afford the taxes or afford/qualify for insurance. Our Oklahoma dollars wouldn't stretch very far there or in Cali. Well, I hope you're able to tweak it enough to save a bundle! OOOOOOh, I forgot you were in Florida! No wonder!

You would have thought that the whole state was suddenly rife with sinkholes or something. They jacked up the policy 3x-5x and some companies pulled out of Florida altogether, like Geico who would only insure (get this) mobile homes and your car. (???) The key is to shop around and keep shopping. Some of them wanted an inspection done to ensure the roof wasn't too old, etc. And some wanted an appraisal done with pictures and the like to make sure you weren't under-insuring. I have to admit that some of the insurance companies, I've never heard of but as long as they pay claims, that's what counts. Hi Trisha,

I have to admit that some of the insurance companies, I’ve never heard of but as long as they pay claims, that’s what counts.

I've thought several times of changing insurance companies. Since we'd have three car policies and multiple house policies to offer, surely we'd be able to swing a deal with a different company. Our current company concerns me--I'm not sure the coverage is very comprehensive. There are so many exceptions, I'm not sure we're actually covered for any event whatsoever!

I blog about lots of landlord/investor topics. Not so much about my day to day investing. Stop over and take a read! Love your site, I found it a while back and subscribed to it.
