They need to shop for surplus lines type of insurance but most food independent brokers can help you.

And I am like @Russell Brazil if I don't like them or think we work together I simply fire them.. can be a shock for some clients .. but we are independent contractors we only have time to sell.. no way I am wasting my time with someone who I don't work well with.And I have had some pretty high maintenance clients over the years and its my job to determine if they are worth it..

@Curtis Bidwell - I'm glad to hear you've been able to handle conveyances independently, but this is dangerous in the extreme for anyone who is not intimately familiar with corporate principles, accounting matters, and even just the simple differences in the types of deeds and exemptions which may apply to each in various situations.

However, you are still an independent contractor, so you don't "work" for them.

They will insure multiple four plexes in one community but not a five plex or larger.For larger than four plex you may need to consider consulting with an independent insurance broker.For PITI sake do these things first. 

It’s offered through Entrata but you should be able to perform screenings independently without purchasing the software, which can be costly unless you’re managing quite a few properties.They even generate approval or fail letters for you that make it fairly clean, cut and dry.
