The banks are going to take a bath on houses if they keep the requirements
If you have a $2000.00 house note that jumps to $3000.00 overnight you have the option of still getting a monthly payments on the loan or no payments at all. Which one would you take if you were the mortgage company?? The value of the home is shite if the insurance has made it unaffordable for potential homebuyers to purchase. The homeowner walks both homeowner and bank take a loss.

The lender is requiring insurance because most of these loans are backed by Fannie Freddie FHA VA RD

No one is forcing you to get a mortgage, dude. You are borrowing hundreds of thousands of dollars.

It’s ridiculous to think that banks shouldn’t force borrowers to purchase and maintain insurance.

Sure. No regulation in the insurance at all. Just a capitalistic free for all. Hard to believe there isn't some state agency to regulate it. I guess one can only dream, of a day there is some state agency to oversee and regulate insurance companies. Then they'll operate for free and just give money away. Like magic ATMs.

I completely understand the requirements, I'm just saying that are going to have to wave it or eat a shite ton of homes that are now unaffordable because of said requirement. I would take the chance on getting paid monthly on a loan vs the chance that the home is destroyed in a storm/ fire.

While I agree with you I wonder when they determined it was a bad risk to insure these customers...if it was last December and they waited until right before hurricane season hits that is kind of greedy

It is a moronic decision on their part.

Why not give up a few more rights to entice these noble companies to return to Louisiana with lower premiums?


These mom and pop companies are the reason we are in this mess. They undercharged for years and went bankrupt when they got hammered in 2021. The loss ratio for the state in 2021 was 407%. Those small companies couldn't handle it, and now they're broke.

If we have a quiet hurricane season, we should get some more carriers to come in but if it’s another bad year, we’ll likely see it get worse.



The above is perhaps the dumbest statement you will read today.

One year means jack shite to an insurance company or their actuaries.

There is ZERO accountability in the insurance industry.

Kinda like ConAgra.

Imagine how bad it will be if we get something half as strong as Ida this year.
Will only be state run insurance then.

With ida flood damage was very lite. It was the wind damage that did the destruction.

The facts LA politicians tried to force the companies to cover uninsured losses and even city properties are massive ambulance chasing huckster billboards could not have anything to do with it hunh.
