Online reviews can be a good place to start to get a general feel for a lenders reputation and consistency. 

I would like some suggestions on some good short-term rental insurance companies.

I need ANYBODY AND EVERYBODY who invests, rehabs, and property manages in Birmingham to recommend contractors, agents, management companies, real estate attornies, etc that I could use.

Are the any Seattle/Renton realtors or contractors companies that specialize in this type of strategy?

Any recommendations for insurance companies or agents?  

After 25 years, this is my first year with the new younger company he “merged” with.

Your ability to be a resource hub of GCs, title companies, insurance agents, disposition strategies, etc. makes you invaluable.
