@Jeffrey Hayes they aren't a local company but I've used "the rta cabinet store" for my cabinets.

Are there any insurance companies that people would recommend for this investment strategy that do operate in the Austin, TX area?

I am about to close on my first multifamily property (5 units) and I am having a hard time finding an insurance company that can give me any kind of decent rates.

But, the timing was harder on the next one where I was out of state and negotiating my employment contract with the company that acquired the startup I'd worked at for over 5 years.

If you have a management company be sure to underwrite their fees as well.  

Different companies have different fees and - more importantly - not all managers are created equal.Remember: cheaper doesn't mean you'll make more money.Start by going to www.narpm.org to search their directory of managers.

Hunting leases are a popular way to generate steady income, especially in rural areas.Solar or Wind Leasing: If your land is in an area with good sunlight or wind, companies might be interested in leasing it to install solar panels or wind turbines.

They did not catch the fake ID they got from a potential tenant until after the owners got a shocking surprise when they came to see why the property wasn't renting. 

**Regarding TheGuarantors**: They are a reputable company that provides rental guarantees, offering you extra protection.

Quote from @Sonja Revells: @Chris Seveney primarily Padsplits  I would speak to a few lenders first before going through all these hoops, as I started to do this then when talking to banks they were basically telling me either get a secured mortgage as they will not lend to a real estate company on unsecured credit/debt.
