The Power of Documentation: Simplify Your Insurance Claim with a Comprehensive Home Inventory

Kevin McCarthy – Blog

This is why having an inventory for your personal property is critical.

Recently, I attended a property tax protest hearing. I learned a lot, and I’m happy with the outcome. Apart from the hearing, I also went to Sea Casa to restock some supplies, and this got me thinking about the importance of having an inventory for my vacation rental. Today I’ll talk about how having an inventory helped me protect my investment property when Hurricane Harvey hit and why you should also do one for your primary residence.
