Shop your mortgage. 

.- You've begun creating your own buyer's list to shop the deal around.Most folks will just want to know about the deal for themselves to see if they'd buy it but if you speak with enough people, you may find someone interested in mentoring/partnering.All the best!

Need to shop around and figured it was worth asking the community.TIA!

I suggest these two books:https://assets101.com/shop/solo-401k/https://a.co/d/8DSEYguBest, Marty

In that case, I would shop it around to see if any other regular carriers will write the coverage.  

I also recently found out about Latte and Lease's Out of State Investor Academy's "Cash Flow Coffee" meetup, which I believe can be accessed via her email list or her website: https://www.lattesandleases.com/shop/p/bay-area-meet-up-g9ny...

Would like to hear your thoughts as well.Looking to network with people who have done this before, can give me insight or mentorship or just meet in the area for a coffee to discuss.

The beach community may be attractive even if a mile away depending on the micro location, is it walkable, bike paths, coffee shops, restaurants etc.

Have you talked to your insurance company about rates if you increase the deductible or shopped around for insurance? 

The OG Podcast was the "one-stop shop" and focused on what folks were coming for - actionable and relatable real estate advice and stories.There is such a thing as too much of a good thing and the current BP environment is evidence of that.
