Please note they can be risky, and I am not endorsing them, although I have personally used them at one time or another1.

If you bought the endorsement "Back of Sewer and Drain" then any backup would be covered. up to that limit in your policy. 12 inches of mud would not be a back up.

Assuming your corp received a title policy when it acquired the property, you could go back to the attorney or title agent that handled that closing and ask them 1. can they prepare the deed; 2. can they issue an endorsement to the policy changing the name of the insured to you as the Grantee.

You have to endorse it, and the HUD consultant verifies the work has been completed.

It explains why they are usually in the lowest barrier space within the industry (until recently not even a license was required & many still operate illegally).As a Philadelphia resident and active investor in the city I fully endorse investing in Philadelphia but only if you’re receiving sound advice. 

This isn't really that earth shattering, just kind of annoying.The title insurer will usually require the scope of work and any lien waivers to issue certain endorsements required by lenders for recently rehabbed/constructed properties.Permits are all public record anyway - and often double checked by the appraiser.So - while it is kind of annoying, a lot of this work is already required to complete the transaction anyway.Just my thoughts.

Nevertheless, fwiw I'm attaching the endorsement below for peoples review and thoughts. 

I am not endorsing gurus to anyone, but I like his program and think it will benefit investors who are new and need guidance in real estate investing.  

That is not what I'm proposing here.The certification isn't an endorsement of the investment.

However, due to it being:1) In the state of California2) A shared home, rather than an outright external property being rented...the default insurance company on offer advised that many carriers are pulling out of CA and that I should go to a local insurance agency.My current insurance for home policy does not offer a "home-sharing endorsement" but only a separate renter's insurance, which would complicate things, since it's for traveling professionals, and they're not going to be booking for 12 straight months.
