Difficult time finding insurance for a 3-family

[John Micco]

I am having a hard time finding insurance underwriting for the three-family that I am purchasing:

https://www.redfin.com/PA/Pittsburgh/7209-Penn-Ave-15208/hom...

The only policy I could get a binder on was from Tapco in North Carolina with a $10K deductible for $5500.  

How do I find out why I am having difficulty getting insured?  The property is 100 years old but has updated wiring, plumbing, and units.  

Does anyone have any leads on agents or other companies I could try?  I tried with my agent, Allstate, Odie and Honeycomb.  My agent found only Tapco would underwrite the policy.

Thanks in advance!

I'd recommend working with an independent agent.  Our agency happily works with Steadily but we are able to shop around to find the best value for your situation without any bias.
