Insurance for a rental that needs some work

[Josh Nelson]

I purchased two single family homes recently and both are in livable condition but I'm having trouble getting an insurance company to cover one of then due to some issues with the shingles and some dry rot. I want to make the improvements to the property but need time. Any recommendations on what my options are or if getting builders risk coverage would work for this?

@Ryan Ingram Thank you for answering this. I do have tenants in the house that needs the work and obviously would like to keep the income coming in each month. I've been working with an independent agent but never thought to ask about the builder policy until I read a few other posts about insurance. I'm going to contact that agent and see if that is something they can do.
