Hey Kerrie, 

In my Experience USAA is by far the best up here if you can get it. Country is good, but they are leaning away from multi-family and won't do much over a duplex unless if it's a new construction. Umailik is pretty good and who I would recommend if you can't get USAA or Country. Stay away from State Farm. 

-I am a property manager up here and deal with a good amount of claims.

@Noah Benoit

Hey Noah, 

The biggest thing is knowing people and getting off market deals. Its pretty hard up here (not sure what city you are in) because at least in Anchorage there are a few people that know everyone and do it all the time so they have the market pretty cornered.

Are these the 4plexes off of Turpin? Shoot me a DM if you want to chat a bit. I invest in Anchorage, have lots of friends who invest in Anchorage, and run a property management company here. I feel like I can give you some good insight.

Hi Chris,

Ended up making it work and coming in anyways!

Welcome Glenn!

I am an Anchorage investor and property manager who frequently works with the Vested group that Landon mentioned. It's a good community up here with a lot of help available if you look. 

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or want to swing by our office sometime to talk.

We are relatively new, and not really hurting to pick up more properties. But, I am always open to talking with people and helping out where I can. We are kind of selective on who we pick up to manage and we dont really advertise so probably why you didn't see us! We are pretty much all referall based. 

As far as meetups go, Vested AK does on at 49th state brewing the 3rd Thursday of every month usually. 

RPM, Real Property Management, used to host landlords almanac, but I don't think they have done that one in awhile. 

REX, Real Estate Exchange meet up occasionally but I am not sure of their schedule. All can be good resources. Vested and REX are definitely the most active ones.
