See a local independent agent, tell them the flat insurance rate you want to insure your units for. It should be at least 80%of the insurance rated value, add 1 million liability per unit. They will shop your portfolio to several companies to get you the best deal. You basically self insure for replacement cost. I have been doing that for many years.

To get the 2% rule, you wouldn't want to live there.
You don't need a GC buying turn key properties and don't buy rehab properties if you are not there to supervise.
