    Don’t worry black rock has the money to snap up all your uninsurable hovels and will gladly rent them back to you…

      What’s the long term plan there?

      Buy for cash, rent until the next natural disaster destroys the building and… then what?

      Doesn’t the landbastard have to pay for the tenants to be in alternate accommodation until the original one is returned to a liveable state?

      I can’t see how that’s profitable either…

      this might be a dumb question, but aren’t landlords required to insure homes they rent out?

        This will certainly depend on where you live but my impression is that generally you only need to have it when you have a mortgage specifically because the banks require it as a way to protect themselves. If you pay cash nobody cares.
