When most property owners and operators think about insurance premiums, it’s just another frustrating line item. Costs go up, you absorb what you can, and move on.
But a $59,000 increase in annual premiums could quietly reduce your property's value by $1 million.
In real estate, property value is often tied to net operating income (NOI) and cap rate. So when premiums rise and NOI drops, your valuation takes a hit. At a common 6% cap rate, a $59,000 loss in NOI equates to roughly a $1 million drop in property value.
And it’s happening more often than you think.
Insurance premiums have jumped dramatically across the country—20% to 40% in many cases. One of our insurance partners recently shared a case where a property’s premiums increased by $59,000 after a slip-and-fall claim. The operator couldn’t provide documentation showing weather alerts had been sent or preventive steps had been taken. Without that proof, the insurer treated it as unmanaged risk.
The result? Higher premiums, a lower property valuation, and a derailed refinance timeline.
The truth is, most property teams do the right thing—handling maintenance, notifying residents, staying proactive. But when a claim hits, it’s not about what you did. It’s about what you can prove.
That’s the gap FlexWurx is built to solve.
We focus on the operational blind spot most teams miss: defensible documentation. Our platform runs in the background to capture and log weather alerts, resident notifications, and compliance actions—automatically. That way, when a claim arises, you're not scrambling to prove what happened. You already have it.
If insurance premiums are rising, it’s not just a cost issue—it’s a risk management problem. And that’s where we come in.
