Shop around for quotes and I always recommend an independent agent.Dwelling fire policies are similar to homeowner's policies in most aspects except that they do not cover (much) personal property - for this your tenant should get renter's insurance and I usually recommend writing that in the lease.Also, make sure you have a minimum of 300,000 liability and an umbrella policy is also a great idea.If the house will be vacant for a while you will be looking at a much more expensive and less inclusive policy.

I recommend that not only do they get every property inspected, but also get two or three repair/make ready bids on each property, at least a desk-top appraisal by an independent appraiser for the ARV (don't go just on what I say, pay the $100 to the appraiser to get another professional opinion on that ARV).

But statistically if it ends up happening once out of every 50 deals, still not bad odds in my view.

I realize you can research statistics for different areas to try and find ones that are more investment friendly than others but even doing this in so many pockets within such a large city seems like an overwhelming task.Would love to hear some of the strategies that you guys in large markets use to narrow down and pinpoint specific areas to concentrate your efforts on.Thanks
