I am seeing a different insurance issue.  

Insurance cost for weather-related disasters is growing to a major concern in many of the southern markets.

., that could get worse as the efforts intensify.Since Trump has taken office, nearly 4,000 workers in the city have filed for unemployment insurance as part of a surge that began at the start of the new year, according to Labor Department figures not adjusted for seasonal factors."

Anyone speaking in "sure-thing / simple" terms, I call BS. 

I'm unsure if I would use property management at this point, and there would be some insurance.  

Yes, you can deduct related expenses including gas, loan interest, insurance, etc. using the actual vehicle expenses method to deduct auto expenses for your rental or other businesses. 

Prices are through the roof, Insurance cost have skyrocketed, maintenance cost are up a lot, taxes.

Those can indicate poor management, deferred maintenance, difficult and expensive upkeep like ocean front which will bring up issues with rising oceans, insurance, and hurricanes. 

A little tricky to use, particularly if your just looking for 1 thing like renters insurance or payments.

It’s also worth verifying if Beaumont and Port Arthur have any specific contractor registration or insurance requirements, as local compliance can sometimes impact project timelines.
