Hey Ryan - I just went through this with my property in Rollinsford. Very old, so to rebuild with exact materials exceeded the maximum on the original residential policy I had in place with Andover after their inspection. Because of other liabilities (pool, more than 2 units, etc) it was brutal to find something. I did end up getting offers for a surplus lines residential policy, and then landed on a business owner policy through Vermont Mutual. I’m happy to connect you to brokers who sorted it out, 2 agencies I trust, just let me know. 

Alex,

Curious if you ever came to a positive solution on this topic. I stumbled upon your post asking the same question - what type of work can I participate in on the side of my current full-time role to gain valuable experience in REI (and potentially put a few extra investment dollars in my pocket). I'm thinking a real estate license is the obvious answer, but I don't know that it's necessarily the only option, particularly if I'm looking to build skills in renovation, property management, or more importantly deal and investment strategy.

Let me know how things went for you after you took some time to explore this topic. Thanks!
