Service as a newspaper carrier under age 18 or as a public official is not a business."

A select few carriers are beginning to write private flood policies so you can ask your agent if there are any private options.

Welcome @Jake Baxter.If a bank owned the house then you should probably see it on the assessor card and if it was foreclosed on those records are public.I would definitely encourage talking to the neighbors, mail carrier, etc. to find out more information (they usually know the most).Hopefully this deal works out, but don't get stuck or emotionally invested in it - keep doing research on it, but also keep looking and making offers on a lot of other homes.Please keep us posted on your progress.

I have used this technique a couple of times just to show police presence at my property after it was vandalized.I would also suggest calling your insurance carrier at a minimum to see what coverages may apply to you.  

My logic is that I can't choose for tenants which carrier they want to choose for wifi or cable.

My current insurance agent is saying we'll have to move all our insurance policies to one carrier.

The Group is an independent agency where we represent multiple carriers for home, auto, business and life insurance.

I just finished it and the content, information, guidance and tips are really helpfully.I'm already 101% focus in starting my new carrier in Real Estate Business, and now I feel more confident and secure with the  knowledge that this guide provide me.I still have a lot of information to learn, and I will do,  but I'll definitely high recommend to all new people starting in this business to take the time and read this guide.It will be very helpfully for sure.Thanks to all BP community.Success is not at option, it is our duty.Regards.

With my carrier, I carry property protection on the property but because of the number of units, carry a general liability policy for them all. 

@Samantha Robbins If you are going to live in the 3 unit, you will want to bundle it with your auto with Nationwide or a similar personal lines company insurance company.If you are renting it out, there are several other commercial insurance carriers you will want to consider.
