Imagine you have crushing stress from a problem property, any kind of letter addressing your issue at that time might be welcome, and you would call.  

When we did it we discovered a few additional things that needed to be fixed that would have posed a huge issue if not corrected in the future.

You're not also flipping the property, so the cost of money isn't really your personal issue.

This allows me to do a 1031 exchange and get into newer properties with better tax advantages (once I have used up most of the depreciation from the previous rental), and it allows me to never deal with deferred maintenance issues that increase my cost of ownership.

The issue you're going to run into however is the rate that owner will likely be pretty high.

Just keep calling insurance agents in your area until you find that ones that will issue a policy on a vacant property.

Did anyone have similar issues?

Hello all,I've recently ran into the same issue where the only address listed for the owner was the vacant home.

2) Noise issue - Sometimes, they have too many guests in a unit.
