I'd use them again in a heartbeat.

The last one told me I'd likely pay a small fortune for this policy. 

From what we have been seeing from the people investing in our projects from abroad is that only to open a bank account they themselves need to be here, although I imagine that towards the future this will be changed as well. 

However, many states now require some version of a license to wholesale, so I'd identify a market first and then dig into their specific wholesaler requirements. 

I've begun cold calling and looking to alternate methods of finding deals, but if anyone has any advice for overcoming this I'd love to connect.

Quote from @Joel Bechtel: The agent I spoke with has about 30 years of insurance experience, so I’d hope she knows what she’s talking about and what she’s offering.I have another policy with Allstate for my 6-unit property, which they were able to insure for approximately $890K because the replacement cost came in under $1M.

Just thought I'd let you know this:  I fell for the webinar and so far I'm beyond frustrated.  

I’d suggest starting with local credit unions or community banks—they’re often more flexible with investment properties.

Personally I'd like to talk with the landlord instead of a manager, in my mind, it's easier to cut out the middle man to have a conversation.

I think you'll be hard pressed to get an ARV of $140k IMO...I'd expect something around $115k or lower.
