Insurance agent/provider for 1988 property in Broward County

[Jeff Miller]

Hello

We are rookies and are about to close on our first investment property in Broward county in Florida. It is approx. 1900 sq ft, was built in 1988 and has polybutylene pipes. We are having trouble finding an insurance provider willing to cover us. So far we have one quote from Citizens for $4500 - which I think is very high.

I would appreciate if anyone has advice regarding insurance providers and how to manage insurance costs

Thanks.

Jeff
