This sounds like a pre-existing defect so you will have to review your insurance policy but I am guessing there will be an exclusion.

He reports that a lot of people that he has trained, have left the industry altogether.

Hi I’m a multi family investor I would like to start investing in commercial and industrial properties.

In addition to owning a STR PM Company I am also a broker who works exclusively with STR buyers in the nearby Tampa area.My buyers love buying turnkey/performing rentals. 

I'm interested in being an exclusive buyer and getting involved in the process.

I wasn't sure if there was an "industry-standard" way to approach investors, luxury brokerages, etc. 

Personally very familiar with the Cannabis industry In SoCal, I grew up there.Rates are high on cannabis due to there being far and few banks willing to lend on it.

. - The insurance industry like many others (including our industry of home remodeling here in Chicago) has escalated exponentially in cost.I've got several local Chicago brokers I can share with you, but I think no matter what your rates & premiums have probably gone up...I will send over a couple of contacts for you.Just curious, what neighborhood of Chicago is your building in?

Tell them it's mandatory.Make sure you are named as additional insured to protect your interests but also if they let the policy lapse you will get a little post card in the mail from Lexus Nexus or a similar company saying the policy is lapsed or canceled.For those that allow pets - have them get a renters policy that does not have a dog bite or dog breed exclusion.

Basically they just want you to email them for info, and in addition to somehow getting you "exclusive" probate leads, they are selling the associated direct mail service as well.
