Put up gutters, grade the land with a cat 5 to slope down at sharper angles from the house, and put in some of the 80lb home depot concrete bags (the super strong stuff) in any problem areas.

Hi there,I have a 7-unit apartment building in Norwich, CT and I'm shopping for new insurance.  

It does have a busy shopping area, and a mall that desperately needs attention.

Do you have a one stop shop for all your finances, do you use it for personal and investment?

Hello all I’m currently shopping around for a new flip / investment .

@Jeff Olson I would look in vacation markets with established STR rules, the short term shop can help in many of those

That being said, you should definitely continue to shop around, especially if the lender isn't being super-transparent or upfront about all the costs with you
