House Flipper & Renovation Insurance

Protection for Oregon Real Estate Investors and Renovators

What Is House Flipper & Renovation Insurance?

House flipping and property renovation are booming in Oregon's real estate market, but standard homeowners insurance policies are not designed for properties under renovation or held as investment properties. House flipper and renovation insurance provides specialized coverage for Oregon real estate investors who purchase, renovate, and resell residential properties. This coverage addresses the unique risks of vacant properties, active construction, and the transition between purchase and resale.

Vacant properties under renovation face significantly higher risks than occupied homes. Vandalism, theft of materials and equipment, fire, and water damage are all more common in vacant properties. Standard homeowners policies exclude coverage for vacant properties and active renovation, leaving real estate investors with a dangerous coverage gap. Without proper insurance, a single incident can wipe out the profit from a flip.

Insure Pacific helps Oregon real estate investors and house flippers secure renovation insurance that covers the property during the purchase, renovation, and resale phases. Our agents work with carriers specializing in investment property and renovation risks to find coverage that fits your project timeline and budget.
