From my employer, I have legal insurance through ARAG that covers 100% of attorney fees when buying a primary residence, filing fees are extra.

I am fully aware this is not a legal advice forum, but just looking to hear what other landlords have done in this situation. 

Finally, look at lenders that have been doing this a long time- they have insurance companies that they usually use (if the client agrees) that know exactly how to write it up based off of the lender's stringent guidelines.

By correctly classifying your property, you can ensure that you’re complying with IRS guidelines and maximizing your tax benefits.

Actually, YES, not only MAY the act of simply showing a property factually create "procuring cause" and be inclusive of a protected list, BUT just the action of having sent an e-mail of the listing, client having opened and seen that listing, not ever setting foot on premises, YES, that alone CAN be "procuring cause" and LEGALLY include such property into a protected list. 

The company hesitated to proceed with any further legal action and asked me to give them some time.

I really appreciate the insight and guidelines you have given me, I will surely incorporate them into my search.

Applying the same criteria consistently helps protect you legally.2.
