We could spend all day hashing out whether brokers or nonbank lenders are better, but in reality, either is fine. 

I'm a real estate broker and general contractor looking to connect with other real estate professionals on this forum.

Try calling local real estate brokers.

Any recommendation for a good insurance broker will be greatly appreciated.

Hi @Ryan Dunn - the easiest is just to ask a few brokers that are active in the area, you can also simply attend a local real estate investors meetup (a lot of them are free or very inexpensive) and let folks know you're looking to offload your inventory. 

I would also suggest reviewing credentials...50% of the PM firms in the city are not licensed brokers or agents affiliated with brokers....and most of the agents that claim to manage are focused on residential sales...not a great fit.

To be clear, it is totally ok to APPLY for more than one (shopping rates/lenders/brokers) however having multiple loans going at once (if you were doing a loan for your primary and one for a rental at the same time) requires disclosing on the application that you are getting another loan while your current loan is processing.  

I've been shopping around with brokers and have tried Obie and Steadily and those told me that they have no providers currently writing Landlord Policies in Harris County Houston TX.Can anyone advise if they have also run into this and if they have found  a solution?

Don't believe what anyone tells you besides your insurance agent/broker and even then verify the info they're telling you, don't go off of the owner's previous insurance numbers.Also, be careful that in-place rents aren't already at market or above market slightly.
