But In this case he is moving his property after the deal closes and the likelihood of a due on sale clause being activated is anyone’s guess (I’m not going to speculate on that) but if you listen to @Scott Smith on podcast 109 he points out a lot of reasons as to why a LLC is way better protection vs. just an umbrella policy if set up and ran correctly.
