i see a lot of real estate investors in California who do not have earthquake insurance. With the high chances of earthquakes in Ca, and the expensive rates insurance agencies charge with low coverage, what are the best ways for real estate investors to protect themselves, especially with a big one anytime in the next 30 years?

get earthquake insurance.

The best way to protect your investment from earthquake damage, is by buying earthquake insurance.

If you refuse to buy it, you are 'self insured'. Many real estate investors take this risk, as they turn their portfolio over regularly enough that they are comfortable being self insured for a short time.
