Summary
Liability insurance costs are rising fast—and real estate investors are starting to feel it. In this episode, Kathy Fettke breaks down a growing trend impacting the industry, especially in commercial real estate. From office to retail to large multifamily properties, landlords are seeing premiums surge—some as much as 4x since 2020. What's driving it? More lawsuits. Bigger jury awards. And a rise in so-called "nuclear verdicts" over $10 million. Insurance companies are responding with higher rates, tighter underwriting, and more exclusions—making it harder and more expensive to stay protected. If you're a real estate investor, this shift could impact your cash flow, deal analysis, and long-term risk. Learn what's happening, why it matters, and how to protect your portfolio.
