➡️➡️➡️ Tri-State Real Estate Investors: When you purchase your investment property, you need more than a homeowners insurance policy.

You’ll need to work with an experienced insurance advisor you trust to help you figure out exactly what insurance coverages you need to protect your investment property and ALL your assets.

It’s NOT your job as a real estate investor to decide what type of insurance is needed to protect you.

It’s my job to ask you questions about how the property will be used to advise you on the insurance coverages to best protect you and your assets.

While investing in real estate has tremendous benefits and upside potential to build your wealth, it is loaded with minefields that can quickly wipe you out.

The advantages? You create passive income, enjoy a stable cash flow and tax advantages, diversify your investments, and leverage other people’s money.

But on the flip side, you have rising interest rates, fluctuating property values, bad or no tenants, property repairs and taxes, and the potential for lawsuits.

Most of these risks of real estate investing are out of your control.

I help you minimize the one risk you can control- protecting you financially from damages to your property or injuries related to your investment property.

Finding the RIGHT insurance to protect you and your investment property is a challenge, or maybe you just got hit with a big increase in your insurance renewal... or you experienced a claim that your insurance doesn’t cover...

That’s when you need an Insurance Advisor who asks you the right questions, listens, and takes the time to fully understand to learn about your specific real estate investment.

If that’s the kind of insurance advisor you want, let’s talk and see if we’re a fit: ➡️➡️➡️ 845-610-5700

HOW I HELP: I specialize in working with Tri-State Real Estate Investors, creating customized property/liability insurance plans that offer you the most coverage at a competitive price- all while decreasing your risks.

You’re busy and the LAST thing you want to do is deal with insurance. It’s not your job... it’s mine!

EXPERIENCE THE DIFFERENCE: You want to work with someone who listens.

To get to know you and understand your concerns about your real estate investment.

In plain, no-nonsense, no insurance mumbo jumbo.

I help you make smart decisions about your best insurance options... to protect what you have worked so hard to grow and maintain.

Let’s talk.
