I would personally have a backup plan in place if the notes are called or anything goes south with the Mortgage companies.Feel free to reach out if you want to talk.

We had a fire/landlord policy with Norfolk and Dedham insurance, however after my last tenant and last property manager allowed my property to get into a state of severe disrepair, including water damage from a dishwasher/septic backup, which was never remediated, my insurer dropped me from coverage as a "bad risk" (we had made a claim for the water damage by the tenant).
