Do you guys think it is even feasible/good idea to get the home insurance on flip?  

Surely, at least one of those would be supremely motivated--so, no doubt they exist, but the critical question is whether one can get to them in an ecomically feasible manner (this mailing, for instance, would cost about $4 or $5 million; so if I were flipping a SFR in greater LA, I would lose millions on that deal, despite my conversion).  

I guess I'm just looking for some validation on that one - is that a feasible plan?

Next year I'm going to get rid of my apartment, put all my stuff in storage, and live utilizing short term rentals a la airbnb and not have a "primary residence" I was looking at getting an umbrella policy and my insurance provider said I had to have a renters insurance policy if I don't have a homeowners insurance policy for my primary residence. 

Any advice on the self storage properties?

I'm looking at a property to split with a partner and had some creative ideas around financing that I wanted to make sure would be feasible before I get to ahead of myself.

Our investment group has been approached about acquiring 4 storage unit facilities. 3 in Carlsbad, NM and 1 in Eunice, NM. 

I just bought a 5 plex with a shared laundry and storage room.  

Maybe you can convince those relatives to get the tenant to write you a note that he's turning the property back over to you and that they will move his stuff into storage.

I'd take a hard look at some of these niches because of concepts around scale and higher cash flow per unit concepts that can me managed / outsourced to experts and you can generate solid cash flow:  large MF apartments, mobile home parks, storage facilities, and student housing.
