Interview between host Chris Larsen and guest Jeremy Goodrich (Shine Insurance). Goodrich, a former teacher turned insurance agency owner, explains why insurance matters for real estate investors, differences between homeowner and commercial policies, and practical risk-management advice. He lists four frequent mistakes investors make—(1) shopping/bidding policies improperly, (2) relying on seller-provided insurance numbers, (3) failing to give agents full, accurate information (e.g., vacancy status), and (4) not learning enough insurance terminology or working with an agent who can explain it. Actionable takeaways include insuring buildings to replacement cost (rule-of-thumb: at least ~$120/sq ft, verify with contractor) and treating insurance advisors as key service providers in underwriting and investor decks.
