Welcome back to the Wealth Within Reach podcast, Season 3!

Are you financially exposed? This is how to safeguard your assets before it’s too late.

In this episode, I sit down with Datha Santomieri, co-founder and chief operating officer (COO) of Steadily Insurance, to break down the costly mistakes landlords make—and how to avoid them.

Datha shares how her own experience as an investor revealed major gaps in the insurance industry, leading her to build a company dedicated to helping landlords protect their wealth. She explains why a one-size-fits-all policy won’t cut it, how skipping liability insurance could destroy your finances, and what landlords must do to prevent claims from eating into their profits. We also dive into why your insurance policy might be useless when it’s time to file a claim, the hidden insurance traps that cost landlords thousands, and what rising insurance rates mean for real estate investors (plus how to minimize the impact). 

Whether you’re a seasoned investor or just getting started, this episode is packed with crucial insights that can help you ensure your properties are truly protected.
