A crime bond and additional insured language I've never had to carry before
We manage smaller stuff, mostly 40 to 120 unit properties for local owners. A group that just bought a 320-unit asset in our market wants third-party management and their agreement has requirements I don't recognize. It asks for commercial general liability at $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate, an umbrella, workers comp, a fidelity or crime bond, professional liability, and it wants them named as additional insured with a waiver of subrogation.
I've got general liability and workers comp. I don't have the bond or the professional liability and I don't know what either costs. The other thing I read on a management forum was that you don't need a real estate license if you're an onsite salaried employee, and that made me wonder whether I'd be better off having them hire my staff directly, since we'd be handling their money either way. Does that actually change what license I need? And roughly what should I expect the extra coverage to run on a portfolio this size?
