Others wonder why a pair of 60-something billionaires would think to run an entertainment company whose entire existence is banking on the mercurial whims of smart phone addicts between the ages of 25 and 30?

It has proven *incredibly* difficult to find any insurance company that will insure the property, much less at a reasonable premium.I have checked with numerous companies over the course of a week - Lemonade, USAA, Progressive, All State, Wawanesa Insurance, Hippo, Liberty Mutual, Mercury Insurance, Amica, etc.

You can use Mercury bank for your bank account and there are many lenders who provide cash out refinancing.

You know, the new expensive ones that contain hazardous waste-mercury and require adherence to disposal laws.

I have been out of the insurance business for a few years but Mercury, Farmers, CIG and Amtrust/Sequoia were the main carriers for multifamily.  

Just jumping in to agree that Quickbooks is great and hard to beat.If you want something with a bank account attached, my company uses Mercury (bank account and lite-accounting software).

I've been in the Chinese markets for years and they have been good to me, but I understand that it's a very mercurial beast and use that to my advantage.

I purchased a 4plex in January and recently received a letter from Mercury Insurance with a list of "recommendations" that they have for my property.

., you're a bit behind the times- the LEDs are quite comparable in price to the swirly bulbs, except they start up immediately(instead of warming up over a minute or two,) the light quality is better, they use 30-40% less energy for the same light output, and they don't contain gaseous mercury- so if they're dropped on the floor, the LED bulb doesn't require people to hold their breath while they open the window and pray that they haven't inhaled mercury.
