 Nicole - I would be glad to chat. 

Danny,

The best way, if possible, is from a referral from a business partner, friendly competitor, etc.

other sources:

1. your trade association

2. Insurance Industry state Associations (Professional Insurance Agents or Independent Insurance Agents) 

3. Your trusted professionals (Attorney, CPA, Commercial Realtor, Financial rep., Banker, ...)

@Nicole He you will want to work with an independent insurance agent/broker.  The ideal agent will have access to many insurance carriers and appointed with those companies in the states you own property.  The more options they have access too, the better your results.

The "Best" insurance carrier for your properties will be determined by the Building characteristics and the types of tenants you have.  Example - You can have a new building, but if you have a restaurant and vape shop as tenants, most companies will not want to provide a quote.

 We have about 600 and use Buildium, Also we have Meld for maintenance/ repairs, Its great!!! Contractors download the app, upload all photos and their invoice. It has great features to interact with owners, tenants and management, 

All the best 

I've used Appfolio and Buildium. 

Appfolio is definitely better and worth it. They handle everything you would need and even more. They have marketing features, communication stuff, and much more.

If you have any other questions about Appfolio feel free to reach out.
