I work with A LOT of landlords to insure their properties. I spotted this today online and wanted to share the info as it's a great deal to help keep your insurance premiums down on your rental properties - AND for those of us who own our own homes, to protect what is often your greateste investment.

Menards has these small fire extinguishers on sale, for $9.49. I strongly suggest grabbing one for every rental kitchen and for your own kitchen at your house. Most household fires start with cooking and putting this near your doorway out of your kitchen could mean the difference between smoke damage and a total loss house fire. For landlords insurance costs have been going up a lot the last few years and fire prevention is the #1 controllable thing you can do!

Protect your home and stop small grease, wood, paper, and trash fires in seconds with Kidde™ Flame Out fire fighting spray. Fire extinguishers are an important home fire safety tool to tackle small fires before they spread. While you can depend on Flame Out to put small fires out fast, always....

Does Homeowner’s insurance cover damage by wild animals?! In most cases “YES”! Check out this screen recorded video from Watertown, SD (credit to ABC World News for the story) of the police entering an apartment due to a suspected thief. Turns out it wasn’t a thief, but a deer! 🦌

Watch the video to see how the police handled this one and we’ll follow up more below with info on how coverage applies for the renter and for the landlord!

⛈️ Attention Homeowners! ⛈️

Big news from American Family Insurance — we’ve just launched a powerful new endorsement called Inland Flood coverage, and it could make all the difference.

A few years ago, South Dakota was hit with nonstop rain and major flooding. Basements were soaked, and many families had to cover the costs themselves. This new coverage is built to help in those exact situations.

✅ Helps if water enters from outside (like heavy rain)
✅ Covers your basement and the personal property stored there
✅ Affordable protection that brings peace of mind

Curious how Inland Flood coverage could protect your home?

Have you ever found yourself wondering whether you need life insurance or how it really works? If so, you’re not alone. A 2024 study by J.D. Power survey found that only 29% of life insurance customers “strongly agreed” their insurer made policies simple and easy to understand, highlighting a widespread knowledge gap that leaves many unsure of where to start.

To help out our network, we’ve compiled a beginner’s life insurance guide. Swipe to learn more. If you have questions about life insurance or want to find the right fit for you, we’re here to help. Give us a call today.

Owning rental properties in South Dakota offers exciting opportunities for landlords and investors alike! 💼 With lower-than-average housing and rental prices, the state provides an appealing environment for building long-term wealth through real estate. The key to success lies in understanding total ownership costs — including purchase price, property taxes, maintenance, insurance, and management fees — all of which shape an investor’s return on investment (ROI). 💰

Property taxes in South Dakota are relatively low compared to other states, typically ranging from 1%–1.4% of assessed value. That’s great news for investors looking to maximize profitability! However, tax rates vary by county, so smart landlords research local rates and exemptions to budget accurately. 📊

Insurance is another must-have expense for protecting your investment. 🛡️ Standard landlord policies in South Dakota cover liability and property damage, generally costing between $1,000 and $1,500 annually, depending on property type and location. Proper coverage ensures peace of mind and safeguards against unexpected losses.

Maintenance and management costs also play a major role. Expect annual maintenance expenses to average 1–2% of property value, covering repairs, upkeep, and routine care. For those using property management services, fees usually range from 8–12% of monthly rent — a worthwhile investment for busy landlords who prefer hands-off operations. 🧰

South Dakota’s financing options make ownership even more attainable. 🏦 Investors can access FHA, USDA, and conventional loans, plus state incentives and grants aimed at encouraging property development. When calculating ROI, landlords should factor in mortgage costs, taxes, insurance, and vacancy rates to ensure a realistic projection of long-term gains.

With low property taxes, affordable housing prices, and strong rental demand in cities like Sioux Falls and Rapid City, South Dakota continues to shine as a promising real estate market in 2025. 🌟
