In this episode of Ask Marco, we dive into a question every serious real estate investor eventually faces—but few truly understand: how umbrella insurance actually works inside a real asset protection structure. Listener Shaw lays out an impressive setup with multiple LLCs, holding companies, trusts, and layered insurance, then asks the big question: should umbrella coverage live at the LLC level, the holding company level, or both? Marco breaks it all down in plain English—personal vs. commercial umbrella policies, how they “stack” on top of primary coverage, why common ownership matters, and how to simplify even the most complex multi-state, multi-entity portfolios without leaving dangerous gaps. If you own multiple properties, use LLCs, or are scaling your portfolio and want to protect what you’re building the right way, this episode is packed with practical insights you don’t want to miss.

🎧 Listen now, and make sure your insurance strategy is working with your asset protection plan—not against it.

 In today’s episode, Marco answers a listener question from Rose, a newer real estate investor navigating the frustrations of escrow shortages and surprise payment demands. After purchasing a three-unit property in Massachusetts, Rose wonders whether it’s worth managing property taxes on her own or sticking with lender-managed escrow accounts. Marco breaks down how escrow works, why lenders strongly prefer it, and how PITI payments simplify long-term property management. He also tackles the common concern of “interest-free money” sitting with the mortgage company, weighing the real opportunity cost against the value of time, simplicity, and scalability—especially as an investor grows from one property to many.

If you’ve ever been confused or frustrated by escrow, this episode will bring clarity—listen now, subscribe for more real-world investing insights, and send in your own questions to be featured on a future episode. 🎙️

Today’s question is a fascinating one and comes from Brian, who asks: How do you invest in real estate when you’re a nomad? Brian and his wife recently sold their primary residence to spend more time with their kids, splitting life between family, a vacation rental, and the open road—while sitting on about $200,000 in capital but showing little to no traditional income. In this episode, Marco breaks down why being a nomad isn’t the real issue at all, and instead walks through what actually matters when qualifying for loans: income documentation, credit profile, and available cash. He explains the different types of financing options—from conventional and low-doc loans to portfolio and asset-based lending—plus a smart all-cash-and-refinance strategy that can help investors move forward even during income gaps. If you’ve ever wondered how flexible real estate investing can be, even without a fixed address or W-2 income, this episode offers clarity, strategy, and reassurance that opportunity isn’t tied to one location.
