Why Your Investment Property Is Probably Underinsured w/ Michael Silverman
Description
Michael Silverman reveals why most investment properties are underinsured — and the liability gaps that could cost investors everything.
In this episode of RealDealChat, Jack Hoss sits down with Michael Silverman of Silver Lining Insurance Agency (slia.agency) — third-generation insurance broker with nearly 40 years of experience — to break down the insurance blind spots most real estate investors don't know they have.
Michael covers:
- Why liability coverage is the #1 most overlooked protection for investors
- How building replacement costs have skyrocketed — and why outdated policies leave you exposed
- The water leak detection system that saves investors thousands annually in premiums
- A real claim story: a $1.6M policy that needed to be $2.9M — and a $5M+ total loss that was fully covered
- What security cameras and smart systems can do for your insurance costs
- The difference between market value and replacement value (and why it matters for your policy)
- How to review your coverage the right way — starting with one action you can take this week
- What 9/11 changed about commercial insurance (terrorism coverage and what's required)
- Why insurance companies actually want to pay claims — and the real reason they sometimes don't
This conversation is essential for:
- Real estate investors with one or more rental properties
- Property managers overseeing commercial or mixed-use buildings
- New investors setting up their first policy
- Anyone who hasn't reviewed their coverage in the past 12–24 months
If a building burned to the ground tomorrow, would your policy actually cover a rebuild?
