Andrew,Regardless of who you end up working with, pay attention to the amount of coverage on the 10 unit garage.

Flood Insurance Cost2. availability of property coverage based on proximity to the coast (windstorm exposure)Neither of those will prevent the deal but the costs of the insurance should be researched before you go forward so you can factor that in.There are now multiple private market Flood Insurance providers (Non-FEMA) and I would advise checking them as they can sometimes be significantly less.Contact a good Independent Insurance Agent with multiple markets and get some rough numbers for a sample property.

Generally, the coverage of the policy will state; “The coverage of this policy shall continue in force as of Date of Policy in favor of an Insured after acquisition of the Title by an Insured or after conveyance by an Insured, but only so long as the Insured retains an estate or interest in the Land, or holds an obligation secured by a purchase money Mortgage given by a purchaser from the Insured, or only so long as the Insured shall have liability by reason of warranties in any transfer or conveyance of the Title.”

Debt coverage of 1.3 is minimum.I'm saying the value of the property may be high for Columbus. 

We are talking $500k properties with gross rent potential of $3k after some repairs.I am looking for someone to supplement my lack of time (I have a demanding career that I enjoy) but haven't had much luck.

In May while listening to "this american life" an add came on for the bigger pockets podcast and I have been listening to about 5 episodes per week and supplementing by reading real estate and business books.

I am well versed in the practicalities of having coverage but as my portfolio grows it's becoming a hassle to monitor and deal with it.

What's the bet 'our handyman' has no insurance coverage

But we will be doing a little more due diligence to give them the list from auction.com the liens exceptions list,"Most liens are removed after a foreclosure property sale, but certain liens may remain.Here are some examples:Any lien recorded on title prior in time to the foreclosing mortgage.First Mortgage (if the foreclosing mortgage is a second or third mortgage)HOA or COA assessment liens (in certain states)Mechanic’s Liens (in some states)Government liens such as state and federal tax liens, city or county liens, US Government liens.IRS liens (IRS may buy the property within 120 days after sale at the price paid at foreclosure sale)Code Enforcement Liens, Environmental Liens, and Utility LiensChild Support Liens" to make sure that any title insurance policy will have coverage for these, was this how it worked for you a year ago?

One of our markets could do the same coverage for under $800.
