Maria,What is covered and how the value of the damaged property is determined by the policy and the circumstances of the loss.  

It was the company this tech works for that installed the one at the other property, under an American Homeshield policy as well.I'm pretty sure he's just trying to make whatever extra he can because the only code part that I saw is that requires a pressure reducing valve if incoming pressure is 80psi, and if that's the case then requires a pressure expansion tank for the water heater.  

Your General Contractor's loss should be on his insurance policy.

We aim to keep 30% equity after the refinance.

If it is available, you may want to pay for a year of flood insurance as part if the deal, much like many rehabbers cover a year's worth of a home warranty policy.

These are all viable options.From my experience, it is likely that Plumber C's insurance policy will not cover this issue.

Are "acts of pooch" covered under your fire insurance policy I wonder?

Hi,I need your help understanding Wells Fargo (and other lenders) policy for renting the home in California.We got a 30 year fixed loan from company-XYZ which sold it to Wells Fargo; my family and I have been living in our primary home for 4 years and 5 months.

The bigger issue with tax sales is that you may find it hard to get clear title until 1 year has passed as most title companies don't want to issue a policy until the homeowners right to appeal has expired (in CA there is no right to redeem, but they do have the right to challenge the validity of the sale).

As far as rent control ordinance units up to and including 4 units are not subject to the rent control ordinances but are subject to the rent reasonable policy.
