But I've checked on some large carriers such as allstate and metlife, and they are not admitted.I thought CIGA was something that an insurance company had to be admitted to in order to be 'respectable', since it covered insurnance policies if the carrier went bankrupt, and that the majority of insurance carriers in california were a partr of it.

Im looking for a new carrier for a condo in California and so far have zero luck finding one that still will do a landlord policy. 

When dealing with insurance carriers directly their only interest is their best interest, and the person representing them just wants to get a paycheck.

Additionally, you can bring in more income without raising rents (Laundry income, parking income, storage, leasing to cellular carriers).

I disagree with you, and it is not hard to find out who the owner of the proprieties is no matter where you hide them, and it is not hard to find what insurance policy you have and who the carrier is, so I understand you try to pull a slick one by hiding everything and once you get sued and are you going to run for the hills or appear in court and face the judge and the lawyer, who is handling the case and you will have to be honest with the judge.

Closing on a SFR in Big Bear this week and my normal insurance carrier (AAA / American Modern) doesn't cover short-term rentals.Any recomendations on who to use up there?

We then looked into other carriers and we could not find any that would double our existing coverage.We pay the taxes we legally owe, but RE provides many ways to minimize the taxes paid. 

I'm a newbie, so take this for what it's worth, but what I've been doing is screening out people on the phone if they have a dog that's on my insurance carrier's dog breed blacklist.

Leatherstocking and Northwestern Mutual are what I use.Most traditional carriers will not insure your product for year-round rentals, at least in the State of New York.

I work at a Home Owners carrier presently and I always was so taken back by the lack of information the insureds had in regards a numerous  things.I mean 50% of them have no clue who there agent was!!!!
