DP-3 coverage built for Fort Worth rental property, not a generic Texas template.
From a Near Southside duplex to a small portfolio spread across Fairmount, Handley, and out toward Haltom City and Benbrook, we write DP-3 landlord policies around how Tarrant County rentals actually work — tenant turnover, older housing stock, and North Texas hail — shopped across four carriers so the coverage and the premium both make sense.
Fort Worth landlords are working a different market than the rest of Texas.
Fort Worth's rental market doesn't look like Dallas, and it doesn't look like a rural Texas county either. It's a mix of century-old bungalows in Fairmount and Ryan Place that have been converted to long-term rentals, mid-century houses in Riverside, Rosemont, and Wedgwood that turn over every year or two, newer builds in Saginaw and North Richland Hills bought specifically as investment property, and a steady stream of TCU-adjacent and Near Southside/Medical District units renting to students, residents, and hospital staff. Add in the ongoing revitalization around Historic Handley, the Near East Side, and the Stockyards/Northside corridor, plus the demand pressure Panther Island development is putting on nearby neighborhoods, and you have a rental market where the "just put it on a homeowners policy" shortcut fails constantly — and fails expensively.
A standard HO-3 homeowners policy assumes you live in the home. The day it becomes a rental, that assumption breaks, and a lot of Fort Worth landlords don't find out until a claim gets denied or a policy gets non-renewed mid-lease. The fix is the same one investors use statewide — a DP-3 dwelling-fire landlord policy — but the way we shop it for a Fort Worth property is different, because Tarrant County carriers price age of home, roof condition, and hail history differently block by block.
DFW hail risk is not an abstraction here
Tarrant County sits inside one of the most hail-active corridors in the United States. Fort Worth has been on the receiving end of some of the costliest hailstorms in U.S. history, and roofs across Near Southside, Wedgwood, Woodhaven, and the suburbs ringing the city take real damage most storm seasons. If your DP-3 doesn't carry adequate dwelling replacement-cost coverage, or you don't know your wind/hail deductible before the storm — not after — a single hail event can turn a profitable rental into a loss year. We build every Fort Worth landlord quote around that reality, not around a generic statewide assumption.
DP-3 special form
Open-perils coverage on the dwelling at replacement cost — the broadest landlord form for Fort Worth's mix of older bungalows and newer builds.
DFW hail & wind
Roof and dwelling limits built for Tarrant County's hail exposure, with a wind/hail deductible you actually understand before storm season.
Loss of rent
If a covered loss makes a Fort Worth rental unlivable, we cover the rent you'd have collected while it's repaired.
Landlord liability
Tenant or guest injury protection sized for Tarrant County rental risk, with an umbrella available over the whole portfolio.
Older-home friendly
Foremost and ISC AU Gold both write dwelling-fire on older Fort Worth housing stock that some captive carriers decline outright.
Portfolio simple
Own doors in Near Southside AND Haltom City? One agent, one renewal rhythm, consistent coverage across every property.
We shop Steadily, Foremost, Germania, and ISC AU Gold.
A captive agent quotes you one company's appetite. As an independent agency, we run your Fort Worth rental across four landlord-focused markets and bring back the one that actually fits the property.
Steadily
A landlord-only specialist built for investors — fast, digital, and comfortable writing a single door or a growing portfolio across Tarrant County.
Foremost
A strong dwelling-fire program for rental and older housing stock — a good fit for Fort Worth's inside-the-loop bungalows and converted rentals.
Germania
A Texas-rooted mutual carrier with real appetite for North Texas rental dwellings, including properties outside the newest-build box.
ISC AU Gold
A specialty dwelling-fire market that steps in on rental risk other carriers pass on — useful for older or higher-risk Fort Worth properties.
An agent who knows the neighborhoods, not just the ZIP codes.

Straight answers for Fort Worth landlords.
Do I need a special policy for a rental house in Fort Worth, or will my homeowners policy carry over?
No — a standard HO-3 homeowners policy is written for an owner-occupied home. Once you move out and rent the property to a tenant, most carriers will deny a claim or cancel the policy if they find out it's a rental. A DP-3 dwelling-fire landlord policy is built for rental property from day one.
Which carriers do you shop for Fort Worth landlord policies?
We shop your DP-3 across Steadily, Foremost, Germania, and ISC AU Gold. Each has different appetite by property age and neighborhood, so we compare all four instead of quoting a single captive option.
How does DFW hail risk affect a Fort Worth rental property policy?
Tarrant County sits inside one of the most hail-prone corridors in the country, and Fort Worth has taken direct hits from some of the costliest hailstorms in U.S. history. Your DP-3 should carry adequate roof and dwelling replacement-cost coverage, and you should know your wind/hail deductible before a storm, not after.
Does a DP-3 cover the rent I lose if the property is uninhabitable after a claim?
Yes — loss-of-rents coverage reimburses the rental income you lose while a covered loss is being repaired, so your mortgage and expenses aren't sitting on your shoulders alone during the repair window.
Can you cover more than one rental property in Fort Worth or across Tarrant County?
Yes. Whether you own one duplex near TCU or a small portfolio spread across Near Southside, Handley, Haltom City, and Benbrook, we keep coverage and limits consistent across every door on one renewal rhythm.
