The Opportunity: Prefab Villages

Large property owners who build and manage prefab housing portfolios represent a unique opportunity for the captive to expand beyond GC coverage into tenant-facing insurance products.

🎓

Student Housing Villages

ADU clusters near university campuses housing 50-200+ students. High turnover, standardized units, and young renters who often lack existing coverage.

Typical portfolio: 50-100 units
Annual turnover: 80-100%
Coverage need: Personal property, liability

🏘️

Manufactured Home Communities

Modern prefab trailer parks with upgraded amenities. Long-term residents who need affordable coverage options integrated with their lease.

Typical portfolio: 100-500 units
Annual turnover: 15-25%
Coverage need: Contents, weather damage

🌾

Rural Workforce Housing

Agricultural worker housing, remote community developments, and rural rental properties where traditional insurance is hard to obtain.

Typical portfolio: 20-75 units
Annual turnover: 30-50%
Coverage need: Basic contents, liability

Why In-House Renter's Insurance?

💰

New Revenue Stream

Property owners earn commission on policies sold to their tenants. Insurance becomes a profit center, not just a lease requirement.

🔒

Reduced Liability Exposure

When tenants have coverage, property owners face fewer uninsured loss disputes. Claims get resolved through proper channels.

😊

Tenant Satisfaction

Seamless enrollment at lease signing. No hunting for third-party coverage. One portal for rent, maintenance, and insurance.

🛡️ Fortuitous Risk Coverage for Tenants

The Tenant Portal covers fortuitous (accidental, unforeseen) risks only. This includes:

Fire and smoke damage to personal property
Water damage from burst pipes or appliance failure
Theft and vandalism
Weather events (wind, hail, lightning)

Personal liability for guest injuries
Accidental damage to landlord property
Temporary living expenses after covered loss
Medical payments to others

Speculative risks, intentional acts, and normal wear-and-tear are excluded.
