Before starting to numbering the reasons why property insurance is the second-best investment you can make –the first one being buying a house– let’s do a quick overview on what property insurance is.
Insurance is an agreement that helps you financially wholly after a loss. It protects your property from damage caused for several reasons: natural disasters or accidents. You pay a monthly fee to an insurance company in exchange for a guarantee that the company will comply by taking a burden of possible losses in the future.
Having insurance is not limited; anyone
who owns an expensive property is eligible to have one, and in some cases,
you’re required to have one in case of mortgages.
As mentioned previously, property insurance can cover natural disasters or accidents. In more detail:
●
Smoke
●
Theft
●
Vandalism
●
Volcanic
eruptions
●
Fire
●
Lighting
●
Rioting
And there are separate policies for flood damage, earthquakes, and maintenance damage that are also a good idea to have since these are common occurrences for homeowners.
Having property insurance won’t prevent
damages, but it’ll help you have financial safety when it comes to these
unexpected events. And while it can be quite an investment, it’s worth in the
long term.
