We can provide you with the contact information for three exchange agents who are known for being easy to work with and highly knowledgeable.If there is an existing mortgage debt on the relinquished property, it's important to consider how it will be handled during the exchange.

Yeah,  inventory is a little high at ~9000 homes for sale with a DOM of ~55 days and median price at $295K. 

With 5 units on 4 properties, it sounds like you're single family heavy buying highly distressed properties that take time to renovate. 

Hi BP ForumI’m currently looking for houses with finished basement in order to house hack.

We have a network of highly qualified and vetted subcontractors that we work with.

They are highly encouraged with financial incentives to get renewals. 

Given our financial constraints at the time, we couldn't afford such a high sum for limited coverage.I'm told that the lapse in coverage for the few months between being dropped by our previous insurer and attempting to get a landlord/investment property policy will make if VERY difficult to get a policy.I'm not sure that my agent really has much experience in insuring investment properties/rental properties.I reached out to Arcana (now MSI, and they forwarded my a list of agents/reps that could work with me.My question is: Are there any other places I should be looking to obtain coverage?

Most vacancy issues in stabilized multifamily is due to a stubborn owner holding out at too high of price.Vacancy is much more of a factor in retail and office where tenants aren't so easily or quickly replaceable.

You'll have higher out of pocket costs for inspections and appraisal on 5+ units, LTV typically doesn't go as high, many lenders require a 70%+ occupancy rate.
