one can furnish 3 houses for $400K with basic appliances at $15-20K

reduced the coverage to 40% the minimum which is $200K,
which reduced the increase to about 12% . . .
always check your coverages and question whether you are overpaying
for excess coverage. .
good luck

Hopefully will never happen but why would you not want to insure home for replacement value? Obviously no mortgage on home so bank not involved
