Now we're seeing major disasters in densely populated areas and insurance companies can't maintain their profit margins.

And yes, you are still responsible for wiring earnest money to the closing attorney/title company when you put the property under contract.

You can use the Bigger Pockets management finder tool to look up MTR management companies in the area and then I have a few recs I can provide if you are interested.Shoot me a message if you would like to discuss further and I can help you strategize to make sure you make the best decision possible!
