The property is in pinellas county (clearwater)   The folks above are correct that you can check out the county recorder's office / public records, which may entail having to go down there in person during gov't work hours.You can also ask your realtor or loan officer, who may be more available, and can send it to you via email. 

Check Your Credit Report RegularlyObtain free copies of your credit report from the three major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion) annually.

Any other possitive factors  - stable tenant base  - alarm systems  - regular checks on the property  - no pets  - Lead safe certification  - newer roof, plumbing, electric, etc..Anything to balance off the lossesBe prepared that it may end up in a non-standard (surplus lines) market for a couple of years.If you did not have flood coverage before, see if they will continue the current policy if you get Flood coverage and increase the property coverage deductible.
