I don't know your local area, but there are plenty of national insurance brands, like Allstate, Geico, State Farm, etc., and you can just call them up and get quotes.It's quite common to own investment properties, so I wouldn't expect you to need a special "investor friendly" insurance agent to work with.

@Angela YannWell, I am fortunate enough to lend across this great nation and see the purchase and sale HUD1 for all of the transactions we fund.   

Just passed my state (PA) and national salesperson tests last week, still waiting to be officially licensed as my application moves through the state commission.I'm Interested in getting licensed in NJ as well.

I even have contacts that will finance specific types of foreign nationals for a vacation home, all without a US tax id number lol..

I'm with a national direct private lender (Jordan Capital Finance), would be interested in working with you as you take on additional projects.

This women has caused us so much headache I just want her to finish her lease and be out, I don't want to deal with her anymore.....

We have several good national speakers planned for 2016. check out www.carreia.com for details

They have a knowledge of your market that the national lenders don't have, and are more likely to know your property and neighborhood when you call them.

In the interim or thereafter start talking to some banks about financing or post here what you think you have structured and let BP Nation give you some guidance.

Instead of continually agonizing over the best path, I am hoping that BP nation can offer suggestions on where they would begin if they were in my situation.
