Yes, talk to your Insurance Co.

We had success in summerlin with insurance company paying .. over a 24 month period we had 3 tenants   fair market rent at the time was about 2200 or so non furnished.. we got 4100.00I did not like the turnover so I put it up as furnished rental and got 3500 and its going into its second year with a superb tenant. so seems like a happy medium for us.. 

Deduct NEW property taxes after you buyDeduct home insurance costsDeduct maintenance percentage, typically 10%Deduct vacancy+tenant nonperformance percentage(we recommend 5% for Class A, 10% Class B, 20% Class C, good luck with Class D)Deduct whatever dollar/percentage of cashflow you wantNow, what you have left over is the amount for debt service.Enter it into a mortgage calculator, with current interest rate for an investment property, to determine your maximum mortgage amount.Divide the mortgage amount by either 75% or 80%, depending on the required down payment percentage - this is your tentative price to offer.If the property needs repairs, you'll want to deduct 110%-120% of the estimated repairs from this amount.Be sure to also research the ARV and make sure it's 10-20% higher than your tentative purchase price.As long as the ARV checks out, this is the purchase price to offer.It is probably significantly below the asking price.

However, you would not be able to get title insurance

But larger repair items such as appliances and mechanical, plumbing, electrical, roof windows doors etc should still fall under the landlord's responsibility.

I waive escrow on all my mortgages and pay taxes/insurance with cc, put repairs on cc, etc.

However, after running the numbers accounting for insurance, PMI, taxes, vacancy, capX, property manager, etc. the property is estimated -1.85% cash on cash return (-$600/mo) once I fully rent the property.

Agents pay for insurance for these kind of things.

I called the plumbing company and kindly negotiated 2 hours off the bill, bringing it down to $787.

Every license comes with its own responsibilities, fees, and obligations—like insurance, NAR dues, and other costs—so it’s important to think carefully about your goals before jumping in.I have to respectfully disagree with Erik.
