I would check with an insurance agent for an actual quoteI would like to make a few calls if you can share insurance agent contacts

A close friend of mine worked with a client who snagged a few acres just outside of town near the North Platte River.. it didn’t show up on the usual listings, but popped up through a local contact who’d been hinting at a seller looking to keep things quiet.You mentioned it’ll be a three-year timeline.. that’s actually not a bad window.

Owners are able to list their personal contact information, but I believe there is a stipulation that the contact must be local to the property4.

I have some banking contacts in Ottumwa but they aren't interested in financing that far away.

However, I'll never second guess what my well-connected and trustworthy contacts on the ground tell me, especially if it's very (negative).

Feel free to contact me.

You probably have information & contacts that most out of state investors (and even other local investors) don't have.
