I have had good luck with American Family Ins. I got a 3 month policy with them in an unoccupied rehab house for about $300.00. The fuse box, electrical and deadbolts were not an issue either. Good luck, Katharine (Oregon)
Rehabs - insurance coverage getting scarce ? - Posted by Tom B.

It’s seems that my agent can’t get me coverage anymore for the period during the rehab. He says the rules have changed yet he got me coverage on one a year ago for a reasonable rate. He said three things were the issue: 1. fuse box - no breakers, 2. 60 amp service, 3. no deadbolts (huh?).
Man if it ain’t one thing it’s another. We’re going to fix all three anyhow most likely but need insurance now.
I got a call in to a Zurich agent who said he may be able to do something; I’ll find out tomorrow. Yet he mentioned that I’d have to pay for a year upfront w/ no refund even if I only have the house 3 months. I realize it’s just the cost of doing business but what do the rest of you do for coverage during the unoccupied rehab stage. By the way we re-sell them and don’t hold them, yet at least. Thanks to all!
