No Insurance!

After 4 weeks of requesting a quote from my home insurance provider they told me they would not give me a policy for my rental because it was too close to the water (!!!). "It takes 20 minutes to drive to the beach!," I yelled. Their reply was: "Yes but it is within 2500 feet from the ocean as the crow flies." I then responded (really): "Are you expecting any 2500 foot tidal waves?"

While the woman appreciated my sense of humor, I still did not get my policy. So I told her I would have to cancel my home owner's policy so that I can get a landlord policy under another insurer. I haven't really liked any of the new rules that have come out with this carrier anyway.

So now I have about a week before I close, and I need to find new insurance. It's always something.
