    Hello all,

    Curious to understand at what levels fellow investors insure their IP's?

    Do you insure at the original purchase price or perhaps increase insurance cover with the market? Perhaps even more that current market value?

    In Victoria, if there is a bushfire overlay, it's very important to over-insure, in order to cover the cost of rebuilding to modern bushfire building standards.
