In your neck of the woods I'd look at Vystar or Mid florida.

Get a $5 Million umbrella policy, it will cost less than $500 a year, and don't do anything to get sued (don't have a handy man do electrical work, do respond if a tenant calls with a problem that could cause injury)Obviously a jury could award more than $5 Million in a suit, but to be honest, if you aren't doing anything wrong (you hide the fact that there was a gas leak, etc), chances of getting a verdict over that amount is very, very small, and the insurance company will pay for your defense (unless you hid that leaking gas pipe and 5 people were killed, then they will pay the $5 Million and tell you good luck)

It's critical to use an attorney who specializes in landlord/tenant law, not divorce, car accidents, or personal injury.

I don't have a lot of real estate investing experinece yet, so am still neck deep in my education phase.

I don't know that market, you're getting into George P.s neck of the woods.

The plaintiff attorney has his eye on the big pot of insurance cash rather than trying to wring a few bucks from the owner's often rather slim pockets so he's going to add in claims for negligence and injury (doesn't always work but it never hurts to try).Most of the big stuff is covered though.

And I'll let you know next time I'm up in your neck of the woods.
