Some carriers I have used in that area that seem to have good prices with better deductibles is Travelers, and SafeCo.

If you had a Job that was 80% travel and you could live anywhere in the U.S to make the most money with a House Hack/BRRRR strategy where would you live, why?

All bills are covered and the ability to travel when I want to.  

We've had success with our own properties and seen clients have success with traveling nurse/remote worker rentals.

We were given a heads up that three of the top items the appraiser will be looking for are code compliant smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and that the water heater is double braced.

Value your time, 3 hours (x2) is a long time to travel for a leaky faucet.

We are going this route so that way the property will have minimal cost or even cashflow on the monthly basis, while they travel to their various residences.What loan options are available?

Seller went to get a certificate of occupancy which reflected it as a 2 family (which is a problem since our lender was expecting it to be a 3 family), and the city then refused to issue a smoke and fire certificate because of the presence of a stove in a unit that wasn't supposed to be a unit.

The levels are fairly high levels but based on the environmental consultant probably did not include manufacturing just contamination from heavy use via smoking. 

A nice clever way to do it is a "leak smoke detector inspection"  or "termite inspection" then it comes across as a normal inspection and not you trying to check up on them if nothing is wrong.
