What is scaring me is homeowners insurance and car insurance. I have a place in MA that I can register the car, so that would make the insurance much cheaper. I am in N Ft Myers and homeowners and car insurance has jumped in price since Ian. Have the prices also gone up for insurance in TV?

The problem with insurance is also that now insurance companies are limiting the number of insurance policies they will allow in an area. i was thinking I would have to change insurance companies and in checking with various companies, two of the 3 I checked told me they had already met their quota at this time, and just to keep checking back each month! The third was ridiculously expensive. Thankfully my current insurance company and I reached an agreement and I didnt’ have to change policies.
I do think insurance, however, would be cheaper here, both for car and home, than in North Fort Myers. Also, getting a home that has a newer roof, and a good 4-point inspection along with a wind mitigation report, should get you a good price.
