I have a property I’m wanting to put an offer on but found out that will be being built in the next year or two! 

This will allow you to compare policies, although, from my experience, most companies offer very similar coverage.As for your 2nd question, 2 things I wish I had learned early on:- Explain the benefits of renter's insurance to all tenants and prospective tenants.

Few companies I got from google search offer free estimates (e.g., US waterproofing, Everdry waterproofing) but they are all swamped with work and I can't get an appointment until mid-June. 

I would also call the listing agent to see if they are working on any offers, and if they have had any offers.

I would greatly appreciate any advice you could offer on how to get started with buying your first property also Are there specific resources or strategies you found most helpful when you were starting out? 

If you put in the input to search for properties and make offers, you will eventually secure a deal whether that's in 1 week, 1 month or 5 months.

Finding a lender who offers less than 20% down for commercial properties, especially in areas like Gulf Shores, Alabama, can be challenging.Seller Financing: This can be a viable option if the seller is open to it.

Takes  years.Make ridiculous offers.
