Do I need Landlords Insurance?
Your investment property is likely to be one of your biggest assets, so it’s important to protect it. Imagine if the property was damaged or destroyed by fire. Without insurance, your investment income would go up in flames, too.
Also be aware that, if you’ve borrowed money to buy your investment property, your financial institution may say that you have to take out insurance on the property.
