ON THIS WEEKS PODCAST: In this episode of 9innings Podcast, host Kevin Thompson, founder and CEO of 9i Capital Group, explores the rising costs of homeowner’s insurance, focusing on Texas but noting nationwide trends. He explains why premiums and deductibles—especially for wind and hail—are increasing, often based on inflated home replacement values. Kevin shares personal policy details, highlights the financial strain on homeowners, and discusses the lack of true competition in the insurance market. He urges listeners to shop around, be proactive, and understand the broader affordability challenges facing both homeowners and renters today.
