    Revathi Raja Kumar

    I started my real estate journey when I bought my dream home several years ago. I didn't know a lot, but was very curious to learn more. This curiosity drove me to keep learning more. I refinanced the mortgage multiple times to take advantage of the lower interest rates. I refinanced to 15 year mortgage to lower interest rate even further.Had a mindset change to focus on expanding income instead of reducing expense. Explored further on this to understand the single family rental market. Spent several hours on BiggerPockets website to learn and then became a landlord. To expand my understanding further completed hundreds of hours of Pre-Licensure education, took the license tests on Mortgage Broker, Real Estate Agent, Insurance Agent, Notary Public and aced all.Teaching and helping others has been a passion for me since my childhood. I am passionate and dedicated in whatever I do. I became a volunteer to teach Tamil to kids. To take a step further became a woman entrepreneur to help others in their real estate journey.I am now a licensed Mortgage Broker in California & Texas, licensed Insurance agent providing services in California & Texas, Real Estate agent in California Bay area.Come join me and Let's make it happen!

      Importance of having Homeowners Insurance

      Our home provides shelter and comfort, making it one of our greatest assets and it is important to protect our precious asset.

      Homeowners Insurance is an insurance policy that you buy from an insurance provider which helps protect your home and family from unexpected events or disasters. It generally provides coverage to both your interior and exterior parts of your home.

      Though it is not mandatory to have Homeowners insurance by law, it is wise to invest in an insurance to protect your home and family and have peace of mind from unexpected events and disasters.

      Homeowners Insurance usually includes both property and liability insurance. In addition to protecting the homeowner from damages to their home, it also offers protection against damages arising from liability issues by the homeowner and to them.

      In spite of their awareness of the importance of insurance, many homeowners are unaware of the type of coverage they need for their homes.

      In the event of a disaster, if the home has a Actual Cash Value also known as Current market value coverage in the policy,, then the coverage usually provides for the current value of the home. It does not provide the coverage to replace the damage on the property.

      In the event of a disaster, if the home has a Replacement Cost, then the coverage usually provides the cost to replace the damage of the home. This might increase the premium of the insurance policy but it is worth having a peace of mind. Though, the replacement cost covers the cost of the home to rebuild the home, it does not exceed the limit outlined in the policy. The replacement cost may also be extended according to the coverage needs of the home.

      Actual cash value = The amount needed to fix your home - Depreciated amount (Value of your home reduced because of age or use).

      Replacement Cost = The amount needed to replace the home into its original new condition.

      If you have a mortgage and do not have an insurance policy, the lender may provide you a coverage for the property according to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The policy provided by the lender usually costs more than the regular policy.

      Liability coverage is a coverage that is usually included in the home owners policy which help you from paying out of pocket for the damage caused. It provides coverage
