@Jason A. my screening process for a neighborhood is fairly comprehensive but eliminates some of these questions.The process I typically follow starts with looking at US Census - block level population data, specifically population growth and median income.

I am still confirming details with property management and the insurance agent on what options we have as we do not want to sign away any liability coverage. 

all that was great and then came the simplest, yet comprehensive answer.

For best WiFi coverage, router placement is key.

There are cheaper options available:If you don't have cell coverage or WiFi, this one uses a standard phone line:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002MUAIP8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?

With these, the properties qualify on their own debt service coverage ratio, rather than the owner's DTI. 

As I get quotes from insurance agents in the Syracuse area I am realizing that not all companies offer this coverage. 

Something like that should be no more than $3500 max for coverage rate with a $1000 deductible. 

Make a title claim.If the insurer denies coverage, file a quiet title action.

Not to mention the liability . . . if something hazardous were to happen to these individuals/or the structure as a result of these occupants, your insurance coverage and possibly your lively hood could be impacted.
