That said you need to set yourself up for success with reasonable policies.

I have an application in front of me now where a prior landlord gave her a bad report because the vertical blinds were missing and an "excessive carpet cleaning" charge on move out.

I have also heard of people who keep the properties in their name and just have an umbrella policy for protection.

Does anyone have an insurance policy that forbids renters from having daytime guests on the short term rental property when the guest rents out the whole house? 

You want to be sure the tenant can afford the rental by making them pay a full month of rent and deposit prior to move-in, then you can discount the second month.I think you're both culpable.

With private flood insurance there is always the possibility that it can fold by having more claims then money to pay them out and the holders of the policy would not have any recourse since its not back by the government.

On the other hand, if it was the seller asking, I would recommend against it because it will effect the rates on their next policy on their new / future home(s)

Refinance of prior property How did you add value to the deal?

If you get new orders ( assuming you are active) there is no issue with the VA loan allowing you to lease prior to the 12 month " live there" rule.
