Quote from @Raymond Whitley: Not sure if Goosehead is in your area, but a broker like someone at this company can really help you in challenge times for insurance like this current market with so many carriers dropping out completely or raising rates on everyone. 

As Nicholas said not really sure any other way then putting it under contract.

I'm exploring the idea of renting out property to Section 8 tenants in St.

Got lowball offers or ones that did not pan out so i went with the long-term rental option which is working great.

They differ from less than $100k to north of $200k With ARVs in the $100k to $200k range finding lenders to do cash out refinances should not be difficult at all.

Do you mind sharing why deals in HSV aren't working for you right now and why you're selling more than buying?

I’m curious about properties in this price range with communities that could grow in near future the further west people move from the city. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/206-E-North-St-Morris-IL-...

(Finding things on MLS is not value). 

Regardless, my strategy was to live in the basement and rent out the bedrooms on the 2nd floor.
