Physical structure coverage
Risk Factors
If a storm damages an apartment building’s roof, the owner can file a claim against their physical structure coverage.
Solution
This type of coverage protects the building’s structure, like its foundation, roof and walls. It also covers detached structures on the property, like garages and maintenance buildings.
Liability coverage
Risk Factors
You may need to pay medical expenses and legal costs when a tenant, customer of a tenant, or guest at a residential property sustains an injury.
Solution
Typically, this type of coverage doesn’t cover the everyday misfortunes of tenants, such as a tenant slipping and falling in his kitchen. But if a leaky roof causes a guest to slip and fall in a common area such as a lobby, liability coverage can pay medical costs and legal bills.
Equipment breakdown coverage
Risk Factors
Landlords can face big repair and replacement costs if a power surge damages a building's electrical system, a grass cutting machine, or a heating boiler explodes.
Solution
Equipment breakdown coverage can help a landlord repair or replace damaged equipment.
Fair rental value coverage
Risk Factors
While tenants move out of the office building due to the tornado damage, the landlord needs to pay for its repairs.
Solution
This type of coverage can help pay for lost rental income if a building becomes uninhabitable due to a covered loss. For instance, if tenants must move out of an office building to repair tornado damage, fair rental value coverage can reimburse the landlord for a portion of the lost rental income.
Ordinance of law coverage
Risk Factors
Oftentimes, older rental properties don’t meet current building codes.
Solution
If a property sustains a covered structural loss, ordinance of law coverage can help cover the additional cost of reconstructing the building to meet the current codes.

The Cost of Real Estate Investor Insurance
There’s not one general price range for all Real Estate Investor Insurance policies, since the price varies greatly depending on the type, condition, size, and location of the property, the owner, and previous claims filed against the property or owner.
Having the right insurance for your real estate can help protect you against large, unexpected losses while keeping your cash flow healthy by not paying for coverage you don’t need.
It’s important to understand your existing policies and have a trusted insurance agent as part of your real estate team to understand if your insurance coverage needs to be upgraded. If you’re under-insured when a disaster strikes, it’s usually too late to make a change.
