First time poster, with a question on one of my accounts....

I have a client with over 100 homes - not in a park - these are seperate 1-3 acre parcels of land for each mobile home. Its basically written as a scheduled rental policy. I have these written with American Modern currently and have used Foremost in the past. Both of these carriers have basically doubled the renewal premium and I need to find another option. Does anybody have any suggestions?

What state are you located in and where are these mobile homes located?

I'm in Texas and the mobile homes are spread out over Missouri, Arkansas and Oklahoma.

As you have already determined, there simply aren't that many carriers interested in writing wind debris, uh, I mean mobile homes in Tornado Alley.

American Modern Home and Foremost appear to be the lead carriers for mobile homes, but Allrisks, Ltd., Burns & Wilcox, and the other leading E&S brokers may have alternate markets--Lloyds will probably be quoted as often as any other. If Nationwide is sticking their toe into the market, Scottsdale may be a potential carrier - again, through your friendly E&S broker.

Good luck!
