Duplex Rental Fire - Likely Total Loss

[Steve M.]

Hey Guys ...

Hope all is well! I don't post as often anymore, but I still lurk and read quite a bit. Anyways, received word this morning that my Duplex Rental House had a fire last night. Later learned this afternoon that is likely a total loss (Roof Collapsing, gutted inside, walls falling in, etc...) Luckily, no one was harmed/injured. From initial reports, looks like an electrical/hvac issue and it started up near the furnace in the attic.

Wondering if anyone has dealt with their insurance on a complete loss before? This will be my first time.

The house was fully insured as a rental even including lost rental income.

Just looking for some guidance & support, and to see if anyone has ever been in these shoes :)

Thanks!
