To keep things short, I have $80k in liquid cash and was tempted to buy a small condo/apartment unit within a complex in cash.

Also, I refer real estate investors in my network looking to reduce their tax obligations to my favorite Cost Segregation company.

If it is listed you can have them write the contract, negotiate for you on anything, and if the seller down the line comes back after you for something that happen you would be covered due to the agent/broker E/O (this is an extreme example).

Does anyone have any favorite sites they use for getting quotes and comparing multiple Homeowner's Insurance Policies, or do you prefer to just call around?

I have reached out to several of my favorite authors, and they are often very generous with their time. 

I recommend buying that package to ensure you have a solid lease that matches the techniques taught on BP.My favorite book is "Every Landlord's Legal Guide" by NOLO.

Concrete is porous and will otherwise absorb liquids and possibly stain.
