A master insurance policy would be obtained for which property type?

A master insurance policy is the homeowners association’s coverage for the building and all common areas in a multi-unit development. Condominiums are the typical property type that uses this kind of policy, since the HOA insures the exterior structure and shared elements, while individual unit owners carry interior and personal property coverage on their own policies (like HO-6). A new single-family home usually doesn’t involve a master policy unless it’s part of a planned development with an HOA, so it’s not the standard example. Insurance for forgery or fraud relates to crime coverage, not property type, and “off-record matters” isn’t a type of property insurance.
