I am curious about this. I know a few people who buy houses and fix them up to either flip them or rent them out. A lot of times, they are sitting off the market for a good year or two. In that time, are you obligated to pay for house insurance or is this optional?

This depends on your area. Some places allow you to not have any but from what I know, most will pressure you to have it. This is especially true for houses in more rural areas. If your house is away from other homes, it isn’t usually a big deal but you have to consider that insurance on that property will cover damages to neighboring houses in the event of a floor or fire.

In my state, you do. The only reason you would not pay is if the house is considered unlivable. So if the water, gas, electric is shut off then you pay nothing.
