I recently purchased a rental property with a partner 50/50.

Talked to a few owners myself too.

What type of insurance do you use for a flip?

Quote from @Clarissa Finks: Software is a common question on BiggerPockets.

I would go with a hail resistant 30 shingle then you get a discount from the insurance company .

Since we are out of state, we have to lean on a lot of information from y'all!

Unless you're direct to a seller, you'll often find yourself with a short pencil. 

I just asked a title rep in the area and she says they wont handle a close even as a transaction coordinator unless they write a policy for it which they cant do on a manufactured home on a rented lot.

A better option would be waterproof LVP with a cork backing.

It would also be wise to educate yourself on what a good PM does and doesn't do, how they do it, what they charge and why, etc.My book, The DIY Landlord, will be out in December and can teach you how to select or supervise a property manager.
