Self funded Sink hole insurance
Why can't someone (AKA Morse and others) start a self funded sinkhole insurance that only deals with houses in TV. Houses here are all built to code, there is less likelihood of fraud and if all houses are somehow covered, the sinkholes causes us to lose less sleep. It does not seem fair that previously owned houses cannot get regular sinkhole insurance and new houses can... Just makes sense that something like self funded insurance for The Villages, can and should be done.

I know I would buy it even if it was $20,000 deductible... because my risk then would be $20,000 not $150,000..

You realize that this sinkhole insurance thing is STATEWIDE? Not something only affecting people who live here? There is no conspiracy by the Morses. |

Carefully read your homeowners policy (assuming you have one). The insurance Co.. will only pay you for the value of you home minus deductible when the home is declared uninhabitable by the local building department. A sinkhole in your lawn or the street in front that does not affect the house is not covered. The payment may not cover all your costs to relocate or repair the hole and rebuild your house. Welcome to the worry club!

This guy makes it look so simple.
He forgot to mention the cost of lobbyist in Tallahassee! ------ How to Start Your Own Insurance Company | Chron.com How to Start Your Own Insurance Company by Owen E. Richason IV, Demand Media For entrepreneurs that want to build a small business that provides an ongoing revenue stream for years to come, an insurance agency is an ideal opportunity, as clients repurchase products to ensure that coverage continues. Among the types of insurance products an insurance agency can sell are: life, annuity products, term and whole health, automobile, homeowners, property, causality, and disability. Opening an insurance company requires some preparatory steps. Step 1 Become a licensed insurance agent. Laws and identifiers differ by state, but in general you will need a Property and Casualty Insurance license and/or a Life, Health and Variable Annuity license. For instance, in the state of Florida, these are referred to as 440 and 220 licenses respectively. Each can be obtained online or through classroom instruction. Most community colleges also offer these courses. Step 2 Determine what products you will offer. Typically, insurance agencies do not limit themselves to specific products and carry a variety of insurance plans. However, you might consider specializing in one particular product while still offering other insurance plans. As an example, you might wish to focus on corporate health benefit plans and sell employee insurance benefits to companies while still offering life and variable annuity products.

Compile a list of all start-up costs including but not limited to: office equipment, lease monies, employee expenses like wages and benefits, and insurance, such as liability and errors and omission insurance. Using these numbers have an accountant or business plan writer write a business plan to apply for a small business loan using the Small Business Administration's approved lender database. Step 4 Locate suitable office space. Office space should have a well maintained exterior and interior and provide enough space for a reception area, one or two offices and a conference room for initial client consultations and workshops for potential clients. Step 5 Buy a franchise or open your own agency. Choose between buying a franchise and opening your own independent insurance agency. The advantages of buying a franchise is operating under a well established name and having access to "in-house" financing provided by the parent company. The advantage of opening an independent agency is freedom to choose any product.

When the Developer gets the insurance business up and running...........how about a buyers club. They buy in large lots (Like WalMart) and pass the savings along to all residents.
Then buy a cruise ship for the exclusive use of residents who would pay a small fee to cover beer consumption. Then build a car manufacturing plant, a place for all the home constructions workers to have jobs after build-out. Residents could buy cars at a much discounted price. Etc.......................... :beer3::blahblahblah::throwtomatoes: |

Catastrophic Ground Collapse works just fine. The Insurance Companies never sold insurance that covered your property with out affecting your home.. If you have a sink hole in your back yard there is no law that says you have to fill it. I guess I don't see the reason for all the panic. Sink Holes have been in Florida forever because of what is under our feet. The reason everyone is so aware is because these sink holes used to happen in the middle of a pasture. If you look at the country side while out on the road you can see them. What do you expect when you start to build all these house over a greater expanse of the country side. As for starting a private insurance company that only covers The Villages I think you will find that there are many obstacles to that approach. There is no way to buy insurance that will take all the risk out of life.

I think they have done a tremendous job with this place and if this idea grew legs, it could be good for all concerned. |
