If you are concerned about damages caused due to improper care, I would suggest signing up for a lawn care service.

The quote I got from my primary residence insurance provider is quite high. 

I have a tenant with 2 certified service animals (dogs).

And *not* junk, they provide you value - a lower rate.Rest assured you'll get an expert on the phone and a great rate(points or not) driven lower with technology from Lower.com. 

@Calvin HaywardReal estate agents frequently provide closing presents to purchasers and vendors as a signal of gratitude and celebration of a thriving deal.

So, this leaves a bunch of smaller lesser known insurance providers.

Get with a good agent who understands short term rentals because the more of these you do then you can scale the insurance under a Business Owner Provider Policy (BOP) and then you don't end up with a dozen individual policies out there for each property that cost you a fortune.

When wholesaling, do you find that having a website legitimizes your services?

Can you get people on the phone, are they confident in their answers, will they provide track record, referrals, etc.  

They are quick and responsive in terms of providing a quote, doing paperwork, and then answering questions, but I haven't actually had an issue yet.
