Property management risk, organized by the question you are actually asking
Managing property means answering to more parties than almost any other commercial operation: owners, lenders, tenants, boards, vendors and carriers each impose requirements, and they do not always agree with one another. A management agreement can require coverage a policy does not provide. A declaration can require one thing and a lender another. Texas statute sets a floor for condominium associations that secondary-market lenders routinely exceed.
This Resource Center is the entry point to that material. It is organized into four subject clusters plus a glossary, so you can start from the question you have rather than from a coverage line you may not know the name of yet.
Start here if you are not sure where to begin. Read the cluster that matches your role — property type if you operate buildings, coverage if you are reviewing a program, risk management if you are reading a contract, community associations if you sit on or advise a board.

Risk management
A certificate of insurance is evidence, not coverage
It is the single most common misunderstanding in property management. A certificate describes a policy on the day it was issued. It does not amend the policy, it does not create additional insured status, and it does not survive a cancellation you were never told about. The endorsement is what matters.
