Insurance with normal providers (State Farm, Farmers, Travelers) goes up 30% for third year in a row. Anyone have a good, more affordable option? I'm looking into Steadily after seeing their add on a Bigger Pockets newsletter. Thanks!

I am in need an attorney to review and revise title and mortgage contracts.  I will be lending to an borrower that is purchasing, fixing up, then renting the home.  After is seasons for 6 months, then they will refinance and pay me out.

Thanks for the referral!

Thanks Nicholas.  I have decided to deed all my properties from that mortgage lender back into the original names before making the insurance claim.  Then I will explain to the mortgage company that I have a commercial policy that required llc ownership.  Once the claim is all finished, then I will deed them back to the llc.

It probably isn't necessary to change title, but is certainly the safest route to avoid any possibility of calling the notes due.

Here is my situation: hail damage and upcoming claim for 20k of repairs on a rental home. Insurance policy is a commercial policy under my LLC. When the insurance company issues the check it will have the LLC name and the mortgagee lender name - both have to endorse the check.

My big question is if the mortgage lender will endorse the check. The mortgage is in my and my wife's name, not the LLC name.

My one hope: the mortgage company has requested and been sent insurance verification documents showing that the LLC is paying the insurance.

My concern is that they won't endorse the check because it has the LLC name on it instead of me and wife and worse off, that they would call the loan due because I switched title over (they've already told me that this loan is not eligible to amend to the LLC. And that it's too old to qualify for Fannie's somewhat recent change that allows one to transfer title (that only goes back to some month in 2016 - my loan originated prior).

I haven't called the insurance and asked them straight out if they would endorse a check that has the LLC name on it because again, I don't want to raise any flags and then have them call the loan due. The reason I was able to get the commercial loan is because the property is titled into the LLC. Maybe or maybe the mortgage lender doesn't know I switched over title, but you would think that maybe they suspect it because an LLC is paying the insurance premiums. The could easily find out by a quick data records search.

Thanks for considering!
