Insurance for landlords with multiple rental properties

Mulitple Properties American Modern's Scheduled Rental Dwelling program simplifies insurance for a property portfolio with one policy, one payment, and one renewal date.

This commercial program is designed for a real estate investor looking to consolidate insurance coverage, eliminate coverage duplication, and simplify management.

Coverage highlights
  • Ten or more rental or vacant dwellings
  • Single family or up to 6-family dwelling, valued up to $1 million
  • ACV [?]
    Actual cash value
    In the event of a total loss, the insurance company will establish a value for the damage. The standard settlement option, actual cash value (ACV) takes into account the depreciated value of your vehicle or property. This may not provide enough cash to replace the item with an equivalent.Keep in mind that the policy will pay up to the maximum value listed on the policy.
    or replacement cost [?]
    Replacement cost
    In the event of a total loss, the insurance company will establish a value for the damage. This is based on the kind of coverage you selected when you opened the policy. Replacement cost coverage is the most extensive coverage you can purchase. Its major advantage is that it avoids depreciation adjustments that apply to an actual cash value settlement, which can leave you without enough money to rebuild or replace your vehicle or property. Keep in mind that even though you may have replacement cost coverage, the policy will pay up to the maximum value listed on the policy.
    settlement
  • Coverage for building structure, business personal property, business income/rental value, scheduled equipment, crime, inland marine, earthquake
  • Premises liability [?]
    Liability
    In property insurance,liability coverage protects you against claims for bodily injury to someone or damage to the property of someone resulting from your negligence, such as slip-and-fall.
    up to $1 million – $5 million via excess program
  • Flexible deductible [?]
    Deductible
    When a covered loss occurs, a defined portion of the loss is the responsibility of the policyholder.Depending on the policy type, the deductible can be either a set dollar amount or a percentage of the claim. Increasing or decreasing the deductible will alter the premium for your policy because it shifts the likelihood that a claim will be filed.
    from $500 to $10,000
  • Co-insurance [?]
    Coinsurance
    In some property policies, it makes sense for the policy holder to absorb some percentage of the loss before the insurance policy begins to pay. Coinsurance is the division of that financial responsibility. When a loss occurs, the policy holder pays up to his percentage of the loss, and the insurance company pays the remainder, up to the policy limit.
    from 80 to 100 percent
  • Basic form, Broad form or Special form

Talk to an agent

If you want a quote now, or have questions about our rental property program, call us at 866-884-6167.

Our hours are 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Flexible payment options

Option 1 -- start EZPay to automate your payments

Many customers want the convenience of monthly automated bill payments. With EZPay, a withdrawal is made from a bank account you specify, or charged to your credit card. We let you pick the date of the month for the payment (1 to 28). Once EZPay begins, we will stop mailing invoices.

Option 2 -- pay after we send you a bill

You either can pay in full at the time you start or renew the policy, or in many states we offer installments on a 4-Pay schedule – a quarter up-front with an installment due every 60 days. A service fee applies to each installment. Pay by personal check, credit card, or bank account transfer.

Some states place limits on the payment plan schedules we can offer or the service fee. To confirm, check with your agent or call Customer Care at 800-543-2644.

Understanding your policy

Flood insurance is not covered by most property insurance

Flood insurance is not just for those living on the coast, or close to a river, stream or lake.

  • Homes in Vermont and upstate New York were flooded by rain from Hurricane Irene in 2011.
  • 30,000 square miles of the Midwest were flooded by the Mississippi and Missouri rivers in 1993.
  • Flash floods affect every neighborhood, even desert cities such as Las Vegas.
  • Your chances are 1 in 4 of experiencing flood damage during the course of a 30–year mortgage.

It seems like what used to be a hundred-year flood happens every other year. Today, flood insurance has become an essential component of your insurance coverage. However, nearly all property insurance policies, regardless of the carrier, exclude flood as a cause of loss for a property claim or personal property claim.

So how do you protect your home and belongings? You purchase flood insurance from an agent authorized to sell the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) . Depending on where you live, your mortgage may require you to purchase flood insurance.

The program offers contents-only coverage for renters, and building coverage, with optional contents, for home owners. Read more about what is covered and what is excluded by the federal program.

Help with the to do's

Roof maintenance can prevent future damage, if done the right way.

Inspect the shingles. Cracks, breaks, peeling, and loss of grains all indicated that asphalt shingles are nearing the end of their effective life. Water stains can point to a slope problem and possible decking failure. A spongy feel underfoot is a warning sign that the decking is getting wet and is failing.

Clean, but don't power wash. The pressure from a power washer can strip off the top layer of shingles, making them vulnerable to the sun's UV rays, and can loosen shingles making them less resistant to wind storms. Instead, pick up sticks and debris by hand, then gently sweep. Moss or mold growth are best treated with a spray-on cleaning solution you can buy at the hardware store.

Empty the gutters by hand. Clean out the dirt, sticks, leaves and seeds by hand first, then use the garden hose to rinse. Just using the hose risks plugging the drain pipe. Secure any loose section, and recheck for puddles in the gutter which indicate that the slope is too shallow.

Refasten loose flashing. Wind, ice and snow can cause the flashing around vent stacks, chimneys, and skylights to heave. It does not take much of a gap for water to slip under the flashing and shingles, and into the decking.

Check the soffits and fascias for gaps. No one wants a family of wasps, squirrels or bats to set up housekeeping in the attic.

Stay safe. Get help with the ladder and take it slow, or just call a local roofer to spend a few hours checking for you. Roof maintenance is important, but not worth a fall.
