Many insurance companies we work with give discount prices for paying a policy off in full (PIF). Many of those insurers accept credit card payments. Many of our landlords have reward plans linked with their credit cards. Therefore, many of our landlords get rewarded for saving money on insurance!

Building Coverage Amounts - The closer your building coverage amounts are to the current estimated replacement cost the better your price of insurance for the building will be. If you give us a call at 607-843-8860 or email us at insurance@drickardinsurance.com we can find that sweet spot price that best fits you.

One of the most popular strategies is that our landlords are stopping buying deductibles so low that they would never turn in a claim for the such a low amount. This saves them money. They instead increase the amount of coverage on the building. Usually within 20% of the replacement cost of the structure. This increases the value of the insurance premium spent because there is usually a discount for that much coverage. Call us at 607-843-8860 or email us at insurance@drickardinsurance.com so we can help you create a policy that fits your needs while saving you money.

Locations - Grouping location that have similar risks together often allow for better policy choice. For instance if you have your single family rentals groups together and buy policies for them you may get a better overall price than if you include 4 family houses in the package. Perhaps the 4 family house is better priced with a different insurer.
