I recently purchased a duplex in Aurora, just Southeast of Stapleton.  Looking forward to my first buy and hold property.  

I am guessing this topic has already been discussed but I could not find it with my searches on BP.  My question is two fold.  What type of insurance do I need.  Are there are Riders I should be considering?  How much coverage do I need?  

Details - purchase price $220,000 - top/bottom duplex rents for approx $2000 ($1150 up and $850 down)

Does anyone recommend a company in the Denver Metro area?  

Thank you in advance for your help.

Thank you all for putting this together.  I was searching for a list of the books and you already did it.  

How do you go about forming your lease agreement?  Is it worth having a RE Lawyer draft up a tailored lease agreement or should use a boiler plate form that can be found online.  

Also, what sites do you use for background checks?  I am closing on my first rental property and I am quickly realizing that I am missing this crucial piece of the puzzle.
