Insurance value question
I just shopped around for a better price on insurance and I was confronted with a decision I could not answer. My current landlord policy and umbrella insure my rentals and home I live in at “replacement value.” Another insurance company said they use “cash value.” The cash value was cheaper. What do you all use and why?
Thanks in advance to all who help.
