I have a SFH and house hacking a 2-Unit and insured through State Farm. I had an auto accident 2 years ago. State Farm declined my Umbrella Policy because I guess they require you to be accident-free for 5 years. I am going to reach out to other providers for a $1M Umbrella but the Stare Farm agent told me to consider just increasing the liability on each property to $1M, which would be a $80 annual increase total. Note that I do have an 18yo daughter under my auto insurance.
My question is: is there a major downside to choosing the increased liability path through my properties vs an umbrella policy?

the increased property liability will only apply to incidents that involve that property.
it also won’t cover driving which is a major source of liability.
