personal property replacement is at almost $400K. .

one can furnish 3 houses for $400K with basic appliances at $15-20K
and basic furniture $60K max

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
still a finance guy
No way the insurance company will pay $400,000 for personal property unless you prove you had $400, 000 . It’s a fictitious number.
