IT is crazy, to demo that house would cost 70k and the rebuild cost of 2000 sq ft at 200$/sf= 400,000, so you are looking at making 1.4m-1.37m= 30k, on hard money of at least 900k.  

It's like my new house I'm rebuilding?

If I can't rebuild them from the frame up I'll purchase them through various MH purveyors Account Closed

We put a new roof on the home right when we bought the home and also are pondering a deck rebuild or repair.

After that I worked very hard to rebuild credit and do all the right things.

(Think cost to rebuild/new construction costs.)

It would be a god damn nightmare in terms of rebuilding everything out again from debt ratios to risk factors.

The property is a Duplex built in the 1920’s - I would be interested in insuring it for cash value and not rebuild value.Thanks for any input!

The articles that are now emerging about the Cascadia Subduction Zone also note that these kinds of events are normally hundreds of years apart for this fault.I think if you have money at the time you will be able to purchase cheap wasteland to build on after insurance companies pay out current home owners but the cheap prices won't last through the initial rebuilding. 

I think of it like this I could watch a YouTube video how to rebuild a car engine or I could shadow a seasoned car mechanic and learn how he rebuilds car engines.
