In addition, the baby-boomer generation is the wealthiest EVER. In the US alone, 70% of assets is owned by people who were born before 1964 and will be looking to sell their assets as part of planning for retirement.

Can you give me an example as to why I need this type of insurance?

You then discover a trail of emails showing the seller was clearly aware of a massive rent increase being proposed by the landlord which will adversely affect your profitability.
