I will also preface the conversation by stating I am not planning to invest in the example below as I'm still working to build my capital and have a newborn.

Has anyone worked with a public adjuster on Long Island (Nassau County or Suffolk County) or in the New York City area to help with an insurance claim? 

Hello BP, I saw this in one of my FB groups and wanted to share this in the event you were affected - "I’ve worked as a full time licensed claims adjuster for years along with being a STR owner in Tennessee.

Good Day Dustin,I hope everything is working out for you.  

-which used to take 20-30 days but can now be multiple months.Yes, a good manager can help mitigate some risks, but I’ve had excellent tenants move in that I eventually evicted - life happens to good people!  

But, I do work with a lot of them.

I know @Melissa Hartvigsen invests herself in that area and works with investors in your neighborhood.

We have full-time boots on the ground in each market, and have a team centralized at our HQ in Texas as well.If you're interested in speaking with some of our current clients, I'm happy to make an introduction.We've historically worked with Aleka in several capacities (as a client of her's while she was with Acorn and Oak and then as our BIC) and our experience with her was always great.Thanks!

Contact local authorities, consider long-term rentals (LTRs), work with a local realtor, and network with other investors to ensure the property fits your long-term goals.Good luck!

It’s all about working with the right contractors and financing partners.
