Is the high cost of insurance
because
of the claim(s) or because of geography? One of my rentals in a suburban area is within 2000 feet of a canyon and is deemed an unacceptable fire risk. I ended up in CA's FAIR* scheme and a second policy for other things. Cost twice as much for less coverage. That is unfortunately the state of CA insurance today.
*CA state high-risk pool if you can't get insurance elsewhere.
