We bought 3 duplexes earlier this year, and I've just had my first tenant move out. After multiple visits by pest control to treat for roaches, (another story) it's time to paint. Do y'all have a favorite, go-to brand of paint and color? I want to do the whole apartment in the same color. (It's only a 1-bedroom.) Thanks!

Thanks for the advice, everyone. I do need to shop around. Andrew Johnson, by "they"...I'm speaking of the various insurance providers that my agent represents. Derek Lacy, I can certainly see your point. I don't plan to have more than 10-15 units total, so it would probably make the most sense to suck it up and just make sure my interests are covered. Thanks again!

Hi everyone!  I'm a new landlord (lady?)...just purchased a duplex and closing on a fourplex on Thursday. My question is, why is the insurance so darn expensive? My agent said they are required to insure properties at replacement cost, which is WAY more than I paid. Do other states have this requirement? It really blew me away, and seriously cut in to my expected cash flow.
