The entire property & casualty market is a mess at the moment with carriers being unprofitable across the board and many becoming insolvent or shutting down in states where they were least profitable and/or were not allowed to take the rate increases they were asking for (rate increases have to be approved by each states dept of insurance they don't just get to jack the rates up because they want to)If you are in a REIA reach out to some of the players there and see who they recommend.
