Before I go further. please what did you mean by 'owning your house is good, but owning other properties is better'. If a property is not yours it will be difficult to defend.Owning your own house is great, but owning other properties is even better. But, you need to protect your properties and make sure they're safe from all kinds of things. What types of insurance do you have on your properties? I think the basics, flood insurance, fire insurance, acts of nature, and so much more. I try to get all properties insured with evertyhing, even if it's not needed. What about you though?
