a Nevada corporation (the " Company ," " we ," " our " or " us ").
For your convenience, the text of the Staff's comments is set forth below followed in each case by the Company's response.
Please note that all references to page numbers in the responses are references to the page numbers in Amendment No. 1 to the Information
Statement (the " Amended Information Statement ") submitted to the SEC concurrently with the submission of this
letter.
Preliminary
Information Statement on Schedule 14C
General
1. We
note your disclosure on page 1 and elsewhere that the contingent value rights ("CVRs")

2. Staff
Legal Bulletin No. 4 indicates that, when a spun-off entity will not be a reporting company,

if you do not intend to register the transaction.
RESPONSE :
The Company acknowledges the Staff's Comment and responds by confirming the Company's CVR distribution is not the spin-off

4. The Company does plan to provide "adequate information" about the assets in the CVR Trust and the distributions to be
distributed to the CVR holders. The Company has established a website www.fgftrust.com which when live will include information about
the CVR Trust, the management of the CVR Trust, the assets in the CVR Trust, the value of the assets in the CVR Trust and the distributions
to the CVR holders. The Company has revised the Amended Information Statement to include disclosures about the information to be provide
to CVR holders. Please see page 14 of the Amended Information Statement.
3. Please
revise your disclosure to provide additional information regarding the assets to be transferred
to the CVR Trust. Clarify the party or parties that will manage the liquidation and monetization
of the assets in the CVR trust and any compensation that those parties will receive for their
services, including how those payments may impact the value of the assets in the CVR trust
available to shareholders. Also, clarify the strategy and expected timing for monetizing
the assets and the source of any anticipated distributions to CVR holders.
RESPONSE :
The Company acknowledges the Staff's Comment and responds that the Company has revised the Amended Information Statement accordingly.
Please see page 14 of the Amended Information Statement.
4. Please
expand your disclosure to more clearly describe the legacy assets you will retain following
the transfer to the CVR Trust, including the nature and book value of the retained assets.
RESPONSE :
The Company acknowledges the Staff's Comment and responds that the Company has revised the Amended Information Statement accordingly.
Please see page 14 of the Amended Information Statement.
5. Please
revise your disclosure to quantify the potential dilutive impact to current shareholders
from all recent and pending securities issuances, including pre-funded warrants, on a fully
diluted basis.
RESPONSE :
The Company acknowledges the Staff's Comment and responds that the Company has revised the Amended Information Statement to add
disclosure to quantify the potential dilutive impact to current shareholders from all recent and pending securities issuances, including
pre-funded warrants, on a fully diluted basis. Please see page 13 of the Amended Information Statement.

Dear Mr. Riedler and Mr. Foley:
On behalf of 1347 Property Insurance Holdings,
Inc. (the “Company” or “1347”), set forth below are the Company’s responses to the comments of the
staff (the “Staff”) of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”)
received by letter, dated March 5, 2014, relating to Amendment 2 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed
with the Commission on February 25, 2014 (the “Prior Registration Statement”).
The Company is concurrently filing via
EDGAR Amendment No. 3 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Amended Registration Statement”),
which reflects the Company’s responses to the comments received by the Staff and certain updated information. For your convenience,
the Company is also delivering by hand a hard copy of this letter together with courtesy copies of the Amended Registration Statement
marked to show changes from the Prior Registration Statement.
For ease of review, we have set forth below
each of the numbered comments of your letter in bold font and the Company’s responses thereto. Capitalized terms used but
not defined herein are used herein as defined in the Amended Registration Statement.

General
1. Please explain to us when you expect the 1,000: 1 stock split to be completed and how you plan
to address inconsistencies between shares and per share amounts presented in your Capitalization and Dilution disclosure and the
corresponding amounts presented in your historical financial statements.
Response: The stock split
will be structured as a stock dividend which will be authorized by resolution of the Company’s board of directors prior to
consummation of the Offering and will be effective upon the filing of the Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
of the Company with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware prior to the consummation of the Offering. We have revised
the disclosure in the Amended Registration Statement to clarify the timing for such stock split.
The Company has consistently
assumed the occurrence of the impending stock split on a pro forma basis in the Capitalization and Dilution sections, but the impact
of the impending stock split is only observed on a per share basis. The Company submits that not to account for the impending stock
split on a pro forma basis would be misleading to investors as it would result in a pro forma net tangible book value per share
of $7,882 per share. The Company has added disclosure in each of the Capitalization and Dilution sections to further clarify the
impact of the impending stock split.
The impending stock split is
not reflected in the financial statements because it has not yet occurred. Once this Offering and the stock split have been completed,
the Company will reflect the stock split in its financials on a historical basis for comparative purposes.
Capitalization, page 33
2. Please revise your disclosure to present a pro forma column which includes the items you identified
in (i) and (ii) in the headnote to your tabular disclosure and then a pro forma as adjusted column which would include the above
items and the issuance of shares in this offering.
Response: The Company has added the tabular
disclosure as requested.

3. You have not disclosed a net tangible book value per share before the planned offering that
is consistent with historical amounts shown in your consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2013. Please explain to us your
basis for concluding that this presentation of dilution per share to new investors conforms to guidance in Item 506 of Regulation
S-K.
Response: As discussed
in response to comment 1 herein, the Company accounted for the impact of the impending stock split on a pro forma basis in the
dilution table because to do otherwise would be misleading to investors as it would result in a pro forma net tangible book value
per share of $7,882 per share. Without some adjustment (which we have accounted for through the stock split as described), investors
would not be provided accurate, useable information regarding the difference between the net tangible book value before and after
the Offering, the increase per share attributable to new investors or the dilution per share to new investors. The Company has
added disclosure in each of the Capitalization and Dilution sections to further clarify the impact of the impending stock split.
The Company respectfully submits
that Section 8330 of the Financial Reporting Manual of the Division of Corporate Finance permits dual calculation of tangible book
value with appropriate disclosure and further Section 8320 of the Financial Reporting Manual of the Division of Corporate Finance
sets forth that there are no rules or authoritative guidelines that define tangible book value. In light of this guidance, the
Company has set forth and identified the pro forma tangible book value per share on a dual basis, with and without taking the stock
split into account, in the Amended Registration Statement.

4. Please explain why you omitted the disclosure, “Recently Issued Accounting Standards.”
Response: The Company
and its accountants had considered the Recently Issued Accounting Standards that were previously disclosed and determined that
they may not be applicable to the Company as of December 31, 2013. However, the Company has reconsidered and re-inserted into the
Amended Registration Statement the Recently Issued Accounting Standards that were included in versions of the registration statement
before the Prior Registration Statement, as such Recently Issued Accounting Standards may be applicable to the Company on a going
forward basis.

Response: The Company has provided the caption “Emerging Growth Company” for the last paragraph on page 6 of the Registration Statement as requested. Risk Factors Risks Relating to Our Company 13. Please include a risk factor that addresses the risks resulting from the fact that most of your policyholders were acquired through the assumption of Citizens policies and that these policyholders would not ordinarily have been able to obtain insurance through a private company. Furthermore, explain the extent to which restrictive underwriting strategies and other methods of managing risks are eliminated by accepting this business. Include this risk as a bullet in the list of risks on pages 5 and 47. Response: The Company has added a risk factor addressing the risks resulting from the fact that most policyholders were acquired through assumption of Citizens policies. The Company has made the requested disclosure regarding the extent to which its restrictive underwriting strategies are eliminated by accepting this business. The Company respectfully submits that all of the policyholders obtained by the Company through the Citizen’s take-outs have insurance through a private insurance company via full-peril protection policies, except for the wind/hail only portion which is obtained by the Company through Citizens, and such policyholders are in the ordinary course able to obtain insurance except for wind/hail only coverage. It is accurate that homeowner’s who have full-peril protection policies through Citizens would not ordinarily have been able to obtain insurance through a private company, but the Company does not obtain such full-peril protection policies from Citizens. 14. Please provide a separate risk factor addressing the risk posed by the lack of geographic diversification and concentration of policyholders in Louisiana.
