Tackling the Multi-Family Insurance Crisis - Find Solutions at the Roundtable.

Multi-Family Owners are grappling with skyrocketing annualized insurance costs—a problem worsened by carrier exits and premium estimates that are now dangerously outdated. These costs are "sticky" and won't likely drop like interest rates.  But there are strategies that can help.

Don't miss this year's Insurance Roundtable for direct access to a cadre of Multi-Family Property Insurance experts (agents and brokers). This is an essential opportunity to get collective wisdom and practical strategies to help lower your property insurance premiums.
