Hi Kera! I'm not sure about LA in particular, but Oklahoma (City) is considered a high risk area (thanks Tornados and never-stopping Wind!) and the best policies I've been able to find for my flips are usually Fire policies through SafeCo (owned by Liberty Mutual). You might try them, and if you find a significantly better option I'd love to know about it!
BTW I find my insurance through an insurance broker who is a fellow investor in my market -- that could be a good connection to have in your target market.

Yes I agree you should look for a broker. I am a insurance Broker in Oklahoma City and a realtor. I have several investors that have gone through a special investor program we carry when you own several properties that is the best cost. Under 5 properties I usually use a company such as SafeCo. Also what ever state your company is domiciled you would be able endorse other states if you are setup with a commercial insurance policy.
