Best Specialty Insurance for Vacant Properties?

[Cynthia Heaton]

My husband and I have purchased our first investment property and have no idea what we're doing. I've been trying to research insurance companies for property insurance only to be told that they cannot insure us because the property will be vacant. We are demoing at our own pace because we're doing it on our own, but I really need the property insured before we have crews move in to do renovations. Does anyone have any recommendations for companies that provide this kind of specialty insurance and what kind of coverage I should be seeking for the dwelling, personal liability and medical payments in the event that someone is injured while working on the property.
