If the home is not a distressed sale, you likely are not going to get a discount on it.

Apparently, the fact that we re-did the "problem" house on the block, made a tremendous change in the area and an impression on the owner of the duplex next neighbor.

They can give a discount on a policy to have other business but they can't require you buy one policy to get another one.What if a homeowner drove a company owned vehicle and didn't own a car?

How about taking a net present value of your cash flow, discounted at market rates, add that to your equity to see if that number approaches your liability coverage?
