Build-to-Rent: A Pathway to Long-Term Growth and Stability for Investors

Mitigating Risks: How NREIG Protects BTR Investors Across All Phases of Occupancy

While BTR investing offers excellent long-term potential, investors must safeguard their assets against property damage, tenant liability claims, and unexpected financial losses. NREIG is uniquely positioned to support BTR investors because its insurance solutions seamlessly cover properties across all occupancy phases—from new construction to tenant-occupied homes.

Key Features of NREIG’s Build-to-Rent Insurance Solutions

Comprehensive coverage, from construction to occupancy

Unlike standard homeowners insurance, NREIG offers specialized coverage that protects investors at every stage of their BTR investment:

• Builder’s risk insurance: Protects properties during the construction phase from fire, theft, vandalism, and weather-related damage.
• Seamless transition to rental property coverage: Once construction is complete and tenants are placed, coverage transitions into rental property protection without needing a new policy.
• Loss of rents protection: Investors can receive compensation for lost rental income if the property becomes uninhabitable due to a covered event.

No minimum-earned premium and monthly reporting flexibility

Many insurance providers require investors to purchase an annual policy for the construction phase, even if it is only needed for a few months. If canceled early, these policies may only refund a portion of the unused premium. NREIG eliminates this issue by offering monthly reporting with no minimum-earned premium, ensuring investors only pay for necessary coverage.

General liability protection at affordable rates

Lawsuits and liability claims can pose a significant financial risk to landlords. Landlords need proper protection from unforeseen events, such as slip-and-fall incidents or property damage caused by tenants.

NREIG offers general liability insurance with $1 million per occurrence limits and $2 million aggregate. This helps ensure landlords can confidently operate their BTR properties, knowing they are financially protected.

Flexible deductibles and customizable policies

One size does not fit all when it comes to insurance. NREIG understands that each investor has a different risk tolerance and financial strategy. That’s why it offers flexible deductible options, allowing landlords to adjust their coverage based on their investment goals.

Whether you own one BTR property or an entire portfolio, NREIG ensures you have the right coverage for your needs.

Additional protection options

• Equipment breakdown coverage: Covers HVAC systems, appliances, and electrical failures.
• Flood and earth movement insurance: Protects properties in high-risk areas.
• Tenant damage protection: With the Tenant Protector Plan (TPP), which is an add-on coverage, the landlord can help ensure that in the event of a loss caused by tenant negligence, the TPP passes the liability for that loss on to the negligent party.
