Milton Friedman on Self-Interest and the Profit Motive 1of2
Carrollton home insurance rates can be surprisingly affordable, and Carrolton home insurance coverage can comprehensively indemnify home owners against a number of perils that can affect an otherwise prosperous and tranquil life. Carrollton itself is a wonderful city, located near enough to the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex. It proximity to the big city offers convenient access to urban pursuits and entertainment. At the same time, it is far enough away to offer a blend of rural, traditional central Texas country living with the lifestyle of new suburbia. This diversity of pace, environment, and lifestyle requires a home insurance provider who thoroughly understands the area, how to best and most affordably protect home owners against perils in the region, and who is willing to work with clients on a case by case basis in an attempt to qualify them for at least one major discount on their home insurance premium.
For example, many seniors live in and around Carrollton, Texas who need home insurance discounts through whatever legitimate means they can be obtained. Many may not be aware that any recent renovation of a home can help them obtain substantial home insurance discounts. These renovations include, but are not limited to, roof replacement, new plumbing, electrical updates, foundation repairs, and interior updates. We are also willing to give other critical details on Carrolton home insurance discounts to any serious inquirer looking to reduce their current home insurance costs.
The best thing an agent can do for a Carrollton, TX home insurance policy holder is to determine if they have appropriate and proper coverage for their particular home. Because of recent fuel costs and other inflating expenses, contractors have raised their “repair cost per square foot.” Current policy coverage may not completely indemnify a home repair at the full value of these increased rates. Carrollton home insurance policy holders are welcome to call our office for a free, no obligation evaluation of their current coverage to ensure they do not learn after the fact that their home was underinsured.
Many Carrollton residents may assume that flood insurance is not needed in their neighborhood because Carrollton, Texas itself is not classified as a flood zone. Actually, there is still a genuine need for a licensed home insurance agent to help you make this final determination. Many factors such as new building projects, extended paved areas, and road construction can cause areas that normally do not flood to suddenly flood just enough to do severe, if not catastrophic damage to a home. Insurance can help protect against this mitigating peril if determined by a truly ethical and professional agent to be something you genuinely need.
Carrollton homeowners live near to the nation’s infamous tornado alley. This is why discussions on topic such as roof life and facia wood on homes is so important in the home insurance business. Carrollton homes that are in the best possible condition will withstand inclement weather and natural disasters much better than those in need of repair.
Of course, it is never good to wait until after a calamity to review the quality and true value of one’s home insurance policy. Serious inquirers may contact an agent at any time to have a free, honest, and no pressure assessment of their home’s condition and how it directly relates to insurance costs in Carrollton, TX.

noted that he did not come out against private aid for flood victims but instead was against the Federal Government providing discounted flood insurance in advance to home purchasers which motivated people to build houses in areas where they otherwise would not have been able to obtain insurance privately. If not for the discounted insurance, it’s likely many of the flooded houses would never have been built in the first place as it wouldn’t have been in peoples self-interest. The student …

Shenlong86, the progressives have been saying “the rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer since the 1840s.”
History makes a joke of these bumpersticker comments taught in college. Not only are we now swimming in advanced technology, prosperity has spread all over the globe during the last 200 years, thanks to free enterprise.

You may have the HO-5 policy which is a good policy if you live in an area where the temperature drops way below freezing. It covers things like frozen pipes and damage from weight of snow or ice. The basic policy, HO-1, is for people who live in warmer climates. It's the best value in a policy if minimum premiums are your goal. So get out your homeowner's policy so that you can check coverages and make any possible changes.
Also, see what your deductible is. You can save money by raising your deductible to $500 or $1000. But be sure you check with your morgage company for the minimum required coverages.
Check to see if you have replacement value coverage, not market value coverage. Replacement value coverage will pay whatever it cost to replace your home. Make sure your fire insurance is also replacement value coverage. You can also ask for an appreciation clause in your policy that will automatically raise your coverage limits each year for inflation.
And, check your policy for gimmick insurance that may be attached to your policy. Examples are:
Credit Life Insurance
Credit Disability Insurance
Morgage Life Insurance
Automobile Service Contracts
Extended Waranties on Appliances and Electronics
Chargegard
And finally, check all options to your homeowners's policy. None of these are a good value.
1)Removal of debris
2)Damaged-property removal
3)Fire department surcharges
4)Temporary repairs to prevent further damage to property
5)Trees, shrubs, and plants – since windstorms are excluded, this insurance is of little value
6)Stolen credit cards

You used the words paid, pay, money, spend, and they are all correct. It is all about the money, yours specifically, and how much of it the insurance industry can get (steal).

Milton Friedman only said the classic libertarian dogma “free market will fix all” and “governament intervention is always wrong” but 9 of 10 times these are only pseudo-rational justification to keep the status quo or implement selfish and crazy doctrine(like right-wing libertarianism) that richer the rich while the poor hear “your are free to be wage-slave or die starving it’s not freedom great?”

You need to change or they will not pay if you have a claim. Holes are not covered, neither is most tenant damage. But, you still need fire damage, weather, etc etc.
Also, if you are going to allow animals check your policy, they are not likely to cover your property if you allow any dangerous animals.

Insurance companies are wary of lapses in any kind of insurance policies. In your case it just happened to be home insurance.
The single most feared factor in the insurance business is not hurricanes, not bush-fires, not wars, not meteor strikes but what's known as 'moral hazard'. Moral hazard is, in simple terms, lack of inhibition in preferring a claim under less than above-the-board circumstances.
For example, if your camera is insured for home use only, you cannot make a claim if the insured camera suffers damage during a jungle safari. Most of us, being honest persons, would not even want to claim under such circs. However, since, as a rule it takes all kinds to make this world, there exist individuals who would make a claim as if the damage occurred at home. Such individuals are considered to be 'moral hazards'.
Coming back to your original question, insurance companies know from empirical evidence that the incidence of moral hazard is greater – much greater – in those cases where there's a break iin coverage. It's likely that the insured is trying to renew the policy after a loss has occurred.
You need to provide evidence to the insurance company that you did not intend to let the policy lapse. That it lapsed, is a fortuitous happenning (please note the wording – underwriters love such language) and not a deliberate omission. 'I do not want to be penalised for something over which I had no control' is the line you need to take. You could strike lucky with this line.

"Homeowners insurance" covers the owners dwelling [house/garage] and contents [owners personal property on the premises]. "Owner" [landlord if he is the owner] takes out this policy and is responsible for the premiums. If building is leased or rented out, it does NOT cover tenants personal property, such as furniture, electronics, etc, or even tools borrowed from a neighbor.
"Renters insurance" covers the tenants personal property only. They take out this policy and pay the premiums.
Home owners policies cover every circumstance EXCEPT what is listed in writing, or "exemptions". These are normally: floods [obtain this through FEMA], home businesses losses [such as a fire in a residential garage being used as auto repair business], or anything else that is listed in writing. If your house up in Alaska gets stampeded by purple elephants, and it is NOT listed as an exclusion, it WILL be covered.

I think you should go to the local building department (city or county) and apply for as built permits for these unpermitted structures. Although costly, it's better than Code Enforcement coming by, realizing that those additions/properties are unpermitted and going to court, seeking an injunction to have you (1) obtain as-built permits or (2) having them torn down.
It is more expensive to have Code Enforcement come in and seek relief from the courts (assuming you don't comply and apply for as built permits) because you may have to pay their attorneys' fees when they win.
I believe you apply for as built permits from the Building Department in the city. Make sure you're in the incorporated portion of the city, otherwise you'll have to go to the County Building Department.
Also, if the bank didn't know that these additions were unpermitted, you wouldn't have an recourse. Most foreclosures are sold as is and requires buyer's diligence. A title insurance policy may or may not disclose unpermitted additions (depends on the wording of the policy). As I recall, a title insurance policy only guarantees that you have marketable title to the property.

True, but it depends on the exact type of business.
I'd think, with no foot traffic, and no business property exposure except a laptop, and no manufacturing going on, most homeowners carriers won't have a problem – If you carry business liability insurance.
Even if you don't want to carry insurance for the business, you'll still likely be able to find an insurer willing to cover the homeowners part (none will cover the business part), you'll just have to look a little harder. Use an independent agent, and they'll be able to take care of you.

Nope, they can look at the inside, too. They're checking for certain breed dogs, they'll check your electric box, they'll check for unrepaired damage, and they use info like wallpaper, tile, vinyl flooring, to calculate the replacement cost of your house.
An appraiser doesn't come out until after the claim. The agent is doing "front line underwriting" and establishing the value of your house.Try this site
