Thought I would check with the community before reaching out to local banks/brokers. 

Consider working with a list broker to get a targeted mailing list for the area. 

In terms of obtaining a loan, I don't think a loan broker needs to be local. 

Hello,I'm under contract on a multi-family property in Mesa and need to get my insurance lined up. Does anyone have any recommendations on local agents in the area that has experience working with multi-family investo...

First thing, you titled yourself Property Manager, which you are, but are you also a licensed broker in NC?

So if you're looking for small MFH, look for local (Houston) brokers.

There are many levels of motivation - you want to find some that work for your area.You can work with a list broker to get some suggestions. 

I'm only nearly 5 mos in on my venture but we need to carry the following for our residential care (assisted living)  licensed for 41 beds - but we can hold 36 beds in our current configurationGeneral Liability (We buy through an independent broker - basically covers medical malpractice, any slip/falls etc)Workers CompAnd even though you arent interested - Non owned auto insurance in case staff use their own vehicles to run an errand etc, building insurance for wind/hail etc inc general property liabilityAll of this runs around $33k to 36k a year for us - thats before health insurance for us etc - Work Comp is the most expensive part of that mix.Your best bet is likely not to find the coverage by calling yourself - you'll just waste your time - find a broker that can sell you this insurance - as far as limits - some of the limits are state mandated and will be in the regulations. 

(Likely) Step 3: If you’re a wholesaler without an ability to close, find an agent that’s comfortable working for free with a “buyer” (quotes intentional) that can’t close.Step 4: See how crazy hard it is to do Step 3 and either a.) become an agent yourself or b.) start marketing yourself.Step 5: Dodge and weave to avoid that whole “brokering with a license” thingee...

If you want MF then in IMHO you are better off buying renovated apartments from a broker that have strong cash flow and put a manager in place.
