Estimating Insurance from a Distance

[Andrew Hamlett]

Hi, I'm sure this question has been posed many times before but I cannot seem to find it. Could be my noobishness to the boards :). I'm close to investing in a rental property outside of the town where I live, but in the same state. Short of calling my insurance broker every time I want to run numbers, is there a good way to estimate/ball park insurance cost for an investment home/rental that is not in my local market. I know some of the secondary MLS engines like Zillow have estimates, but I have very little faith in anything zillow shows as they always seem to be out of date. Any thoughts or direction would be greatly appreciated?
