Two of our rentals have taken on water and our personal home might too.I was thinking about going over there as soon as the water recedes under slab and start shop vacuuming, ripping out baseboards/door trim and sheet rock and insulation, and setting up fans.

I'm currently looking for a flip house...and possibly some partners...would you like to meet up for coffee and chat? 

Hi Woodward - I'd also be happy to have coffee and talk through this.  

I haven't shopped around for insurance for a few years now, but I noticed a significant increase in how much we pay for our Texas  rentals.What REPUTABLE (with good/excellent history of paying out in case of fire) insurers would you recommend?

For SFH its squared footage / bedrooms / and area that help command price basically just like apartments.. harder to shop in person for comps so listings on major sites are easy to track by area / map Apartments basically the same way,, but transportation / bus sometimes is a big plus.. and if your in a close nitch with similar size apts I'd recommend go and physically check to see what they are offering,, shop them as I bet they have shopped you.. 

I also shopped for "laundry centers" which are those combined stacked units, and found a GE that looks good and is on sale. http://www.sears.com/ge-appliances-unitized-spacem... .

I have been shopping around and was wondering what companies other investors trusted.
