I was an electrician for over 20 years with my last electrical job being shop foreman for a custom electrical control panel shop and UL 508 specialist.

It’s a good idea to speak directly with an insurance agent who understands multi-unit properties to customize coverage for your specific situation.

Bob is very good on the customer support and that being said... they are the only company other than myself that I have invested with  basically EVER... as I do my own deals.But I had money stacking up in my SDRA and of course I can't self deal.. so I chose one of his new investments which is more akin to what I like.. quicker turn and high IRR...

I’d suggest starting there, or if you’re comfortable with Excel or Google Sheets, customizing a simple flip analysis template yourself.Final Thought:Since this is your first flip, starting with a modest project can help you learn the ropes without risking too much capital.

Our actual carriers used to be Secura, but they seem to be getting out of a lot of insurance lines or pricing so high as to have customers drop off, and we just moved policies in Nov. to Hanover Insurance. 

That's it, but a) print out a page for each property you think is comparable, b) make the list of repairs long and inclusive of everything you've done. c) Put larger items first like kitchen remodel......and don't just say 'kitchen remodel', list things like 'custom backsplash tile/Bosch appliances/recessed can lighting/pot filler/etc. d) Cite the price/value of the work done, and don't be afraid to be generous.

I know a lot of you offer this service (and no offense), but I'm looking for customers that have done this and gone thru it all.

I agree with everything said in this post, it is a hospitality business and superlative customer service is a must. 

So far I am basing it on customer service.

Customer Service integration to handle tenant issues, monitoring of Mechanical issues where the A.I. can proactively do something to ensure it's well maintained or to be able to fix an issue, etc.My Portfolio has basically been self-running except for occasional P.M.
