Insurers are pulling out of Florida left and right (including USAA for rentals) and I'm having a hard time finding a policy. Anyone have any ideas on insurers for Florida?

Hello 

I have a property in downtown orlando that is mixed use Commercial and Residential. My current insurance company is dropping us just like many other companies are dropping customers. I never had a claim. I had our insurance rep try to find us a company that would insure our property but because it’s mixed use most companies will not cover the property. He found one but it won’t cover storm damage which doesn’t work for us in Florida. Has anyone had this issue? Does anyone know of a company that will cover this type of property? Thank you in advance.

I have a duplex that I manage myself. I collect the rents and I find new tenants, no problem. And I have all my contractors that I like lined up, so I really don't have any problem managing the property. But I was wanting to travel internationally and I was wondering what should I do in this case? My tenants are both very hard-working and they're always working during normal business, the hours that contractors can come.

Is my only solution just to hire a property management company and sign a normal 1 year agreement?

Hey guys, Im striving to acquire my first rental property and I have interest in both the Tampa FL region as well as the Myrtle area in SC. Both areas Im sure will preform well, however I just would like to hear someone else's opinion between the two. Any information would be greatly appreciated! Keep in mind that 250k is around my max budget for 20% down.

Thank you!

Can I legally turn a detached garage into a ADU for long term rental in South Tampa? If so, what is the process?

Hello , 

My name is Anissa and I currently live in California . I started my real estate journey at the towards the end of 2022. My goal for 2023 is to purchase my first investment property. I have put in a few offers in Toledo and Cleveland Ohio but unfortunately none of the offers went through. I am looking for a new market at this time and would like to know any areas I should do look into ? Any recommendations?  

My partner and I decided to start investing in Real Estate but right now we live renting in Riverview, FL and we do not owned a house.

I told her that we should start buying a multifamily and do house hacking for one or two years and then buy our primary home and rent the whole multifamily.

Is that a good idea? Or should I stay living in rent and rent the multifamily from the begging? What advice can you all give so we can start? 

Thanks in advance!

P.S. We are going to get or finances in order before making the decision.
