Is it automatically deducted via Air Bnb, another auto debit, or am I required to retain the rental payments and send a physical check?

Dang auto-correct!

Not all standard home and auto carriers do well with landlord dwellings.

They can see the deals I'm doing (they know the areas) and they see the model is working and my payments are coming in like clockwork (because I set them to auto pay).  

Storms are specifically covered as insurable perils under an auto policy.

@Darren EadyI filled out a lead form with Peak Asset Lending but the brochure that was auto-emailed to me talks about 3/1 ARMs (so it's possibly a 30y loan, but interest resets after 3y).

its like the auto mechanic that does not fix his own car.. or the carpenters house that is always torn up.Having west coast perspective  remember living large not a conservative mid west mindset.

@Shane Willcox  Thanks for the auto add link.

Assume all of those auto-generated estimates are wrong. 

I am currently work a few accounts the Erie is on, and they have different pricing tiers depending on,1)   if the property will be insured connected to your personal home and auto (this will most likely give you the best rate)2)  Property is not connected to your personal account, but is fairly new, you can add 50% more cost to option 13)  Property is not a preferred property in their eyes.
