Fire damaged houses

[Grant Hwang]

One of my neighbors house was damaged by fire(no one was home thank God). I assumed they had insurance and would get it repaired. But it has been almost 5 months. Now I am thinking this might be a good rehab(no experience with fire damage).

I am guessing insurance for whatever reason isn't coming in. Or is it normal to take this long, insurance claim on something like this is probably complicated.
