What do you need help with?

Networking with local investors through BiggerPockets, Facebook, and meetups can help you navigate the market, while avoiding common mistakes like underestimating expenses, poor tenant screening, and hiring the wrong property manager.Good luck!

If anyone has worked with one before, can they help me?

PM here - happy to help the BP community with rental analysis, leasing trends etc should you need anything from me - Northern VA and DC.

Here's a link that may be helpful about service animal vs emotional support animals.  

Could help you save some serious $$ if buying and selling there and can also get you access to their MLS systems.

Specifically, I’m interested in finding carriers you might recommend could help fill this gap.Has anyone dealt with a similar situation, or do you have advice on which brokers or carriers are best suited for this kind of coverage?

I hope it helps other people who are trying to make a decision. 

And if you have any questions I can help with, feel free to reach out!
