One of the problems is few insurance carriers offer a cash out option if your house is destroyed, flooded, and needs to be rebuilt then it must be rebuilt in the same place. Then it goes into do you have these options or this secret option where they do their job to not pay you anything. Calculate the depreciation value…etc

“If you have the Cash-Out Option or Agreed Value, congratulations! If you face a total loss, you will receive the replacement cost amount on your home whether you decide to rebuild there or not. If you do not, you will only receive the replacement cost amount if you decide to rebuild in the same spot. If you decide to cash out and move, you will receive the depreciated amount.”
