To the extent that there are obligations that transfer with the property, this is why we have title insurance.

If it makes any difference, I also own another house that's fully paid off, but currently does not generate any income ..a close 70yr old relative lives in it rent free, she does pay property taxes, insurance, and utilities. etc., so nothing is really coming out of my pocket, but that will be another source of income when the inevitable happens.

I told him he needed to get Renters Insurance if he was going that route.

I had access to one portfolio and it looked like this: 23 units total3 fourplexes5 duplexes1 half duplex$185,200 gross rents$1,692,000 asking priceThis would be probably around 11k mo (loan, insur,tax,) and 15,416 in rents.

Both your insurance expense, and management expense seem a bit low. 

You could equate it to if you hired a landscaper to mow the lawn and they broke it their insurance would cover it not you.

I have a tax/capital gains/ insurance settlement question:I bought a duplex 3.5 years ago with a conventional mortgage.

I've been looking for quotes on insurance.

Does anyone have a good recommendation(s) for an insurance company providing builders risk/general liability policies for house flipping?

Can anyone share with me a good rule of thumb in terms of the price / sq foot we should expect to pay for insurance in this area?
