]]> Comment on How I made $5,728 dollars from renters insurance and why you should get renters insurance by Walter http://www.financephysician.com/2007/09/06/how-i-made-5728-dollars-from-renters-insurance-and-why-you-should-get-renters-insurance/#comment-7341 Walter Wed, 14 May 2008 18:09:52 +0000 http://www.financephysician.com/2007/09/06/how-i-made-5728-dollars-from-renters-insurance-and-why-you-should-get-renters-insurance/#comment-7341 If you have renters insurance don't make a claim against it unless it's huge. To actually use the product for which it was intended, like two small claims, will make you uninsurable. I know because I tried to get renters insurance for my new home and was denied because of my claims history ( two claims totalling less than $500). It would be better if they told you up front. That way they could make money by still insuring you and you are protected against a major loss). If you have renters insurance don’t make a claim against it unless it’s huge.

I’ve seen so many first time home buyers jump into something they cannot afford only because they have big dreams. Do your homework done first if you are thinking about taking out a loan or mortgage. The time spent looking into your options can save you a good deal of money later on. I think the most important step is to be realistic in what you can and cannot do.

I've also read on a new project, the <a title=" " href="http://www.moverswatch.com">Movers Watch</a> that should run soon on that website and will be completely objective and will have reviews written in it from real people that would have to proove they actually used the services and the moving companies can respond to every complain. Hope to see it running soon. In the mean time I'd suggest ignoring MovingScam.com.
