There was a pretty good thread about this not too long ago. https://www.biggerpockets.com/topics/711343It’s a pretty solid thread with a lot of differing opinions.It is called a “vacant policy” and they are generally sold in 3, 6, and 12 month terms.Some companies offer a monthly option that can be cancelled any time.
