Hazard Insurance for Seller Financing Deal

[Jaren Woeppel]

Hey, BP

Would love your perspective and any possible help on our current situation. We have a 4-unit multi-family property under contract. We had lender financing and a great insurance quote. The appraisal came back poor, and the sellers have offered seller financing terms. We would like to move forward with the seller financing terms, but then we just heard back from the insurance company that they would not offer the insurance if it is seller financed. I did not know that an insurance company cares who holds the note, so this is new to me. 

Has anyone out there had a similar experience and found a good solution or what the next step should be? The next quote we received from a different carrier was 3.5x higher than the previous quote, only change being seller financing. 

This is in Florida (FL) by the way. Thanks!
