A few other things I'm considering;- I don't need the extra cash flow to live and am just approaching it to remove the high mortgage interest, but also hedge risk that the current stocks might tank in a few years.- Could take all current cash flow and a few thousand a year to pay off the property in 5-10 years.- Hold for a bit and 1031 into something else but am fairly confident there is not much appreciation to come on this property.

Sadly, this price-gouging behavior has become the unfortunate new norm in the insurance industry.There's a high likelihood you'll need a broker familiar with surplus lines.  3 weeks isn't much time - if you aren't working with someone already you need to get in touch with someone asap.

I'd highly recommend Matt Scott and his services to those that are serious about raising money.Jorge
