I have got insurance quotes on several single family rentals and the insurance company is putting 3 times the market value for insurance rates on the cost to rebuild/ replacement value, how do I shop for reasonable insurance, the properties are located in Western PA

it does seem like since the market is good people in the western part of the country experience crazy appreciation.

My wife and I own and self-manage a portfolio of rentals in the Western Washington area (some BRRRRs and some traditional 25% down conventional financing) and use cozy to manage all of our tenant sceening, online rent collection, etc.

Presently looking to expand my rental portfolio and I am looking to make connections with other members in the mid-western U.S. including Oklahoma City, Salt Lake, Boise and Omaha.
