Did you know that claims history is one of the most important need-to-know aspects of buying a property?  Whether you are a real estate investor who wants to flip the property,  to rent it out, or simply have the property as a future viable investment; you are going to need to know the claims history of the property to make a better, more informed decision.

In the most basic sense, a claims history will let you know what types of claims have been made on that particular property.  For example, if the property is in a Hurricane-prone location, then it is very possible that the house has seen claims made regarding flooding, wind and hail damage, and so forth.  That means if the house has already suffered through flooding, and resulting damage from that, would it be possible that there might be mold issues in the future?  While this may not necessarily be the case, it is possible given the property's history.  As a real estate investor, you need to be aware of any potential liability in order to better protect yourself and your assets and know the details of your investment.

Real estate investors need to be aware of what they are buying, period.  The C.L.U.E. Report allows you to get a 'clue' by alerting you to the general history of the property, including any past claims that have been made.  As mentioned, this can protect you and your investment in the future.

When it comes to real estate insurance, claims history is an invaluable tool that will help you better prepare for the future, allowing you to make a smart, informed real estate investment decision.
