I know this will sound like nitpicking but here goes.
When we purchased our home in 2007 the seller wanted to stay in the home for about two weeks after the closing. I was in the insurance business for 20 years and a red light went off in my mind.
In this situation, would I not be the landlord for my new house for two weeks? I consulted with an attorney and found that, YES, I would technically be the landlord.
To be as safe as possible (isn’t that what insurance is supposed to do?) I had my agent take out a fire policy instead of a Homeowner policy for the closing. Then, after we moved in, I cancelled the fire policy and put the Homeowner policy into effect.
Better safe than sorry, I think. You never know what can happen in this crazy world.
Buying home owner insurance is one of the most necessity to those owns a house. It was my personal experience when i saw one of my Uncle’s house under fire and the adjacent 4 units were also under fire. He didn’t have any insurance on his house and thus he was under huge debt.
I would advice everyone to get a home owner insurance
