Question by Timothy R: What is the average home business liabilitly insurance monthly premium?
This would be an internet based business run out of my home, with $ 2000 in sales a month.
More specifically, this would be for a home based internet business that does $ 2000 a month in sales, in Illinois and makes no original products, but resells them. I have heard that companies who manufacturer the products hold the liability, not the reseller, is that true? Does it reduce my liability that I do not make the product I am selling?

Depends on what you’re selling, where you’re located, and if you want product liability coverage, or property coverage, or straight liability coverage.

You’re probably not going to be able to buy this on a “monthly” basis, I’d guess an annual premium for a low-hazard product, US liability only, $ 1,000,000 limit would run around $ 1000 – $ 1800 a year.

While some individuals paid their taxes for home rentals lasting more than five days and fewer than 30, others simply left the business unreported. Aside from the lost tax revenue, unreported tourist homes also posed a legal risk to the city.

Answer by RetiredDebtFree
To keep from getting in over your head and being financially stressed, your monthly total mortgage payment (PITI) should not exceed 25% of your take-home pay.

Lenders will tell you 30% or more, but that school of thought leads to families struggling with the reality of home ownership and all the other expenses.

Being a home owner is expensive: regular maintenance (air filters, cleaning products, light bulbs, etc.), major repairs like heat & air, roofs, window replacement, painting), yard upkeep, appliance repair and replacement, plumbing emergencies, garage door repair, furnishings and replacing old furniture from time to time, insect and termite control, fence replacement, and the list goes on and on.

Don’t buy the biggest place your lender will allow. Being in debt for your house will hamper you ability to save for future major financial obligations and wishes like vacations, family, retirement, medical expenses, and the occasional toy or trinket.
