House Hacking Insurance
Hey everyone.
I'm in the middle of a house-hacking purchase and I'm stumped on the Insurance question.
Do I insure the whole house with a homeowners policy? Do I make tenants have renters insurance? Does everyone having renters insurance negate the need for proper insurance? etc etc
Some direction here would be much appreciated!

@James Carlson @Grace Wang This is a true 4 unit property, not a rent-by-room situation.

I'm about to close on a 4-unit building. I will be living in 1 apartment and renting out the other 3. May I ask who did you end up using for insurance? I'm having a hard time finding a company who offers what I need.
