If you earn $300,000 a year as a heart surgeon with average financial discipline, replacing a $10,000 roof will be easy.

Cardiac Surgeon vs a General Surgeon. 

If I couldn't be a surgeon who only read a few books and never went to school, I don't feel comfortable investing without enough training.When I had so much debt and accesed my very last credit line for my coaching classes, it would very much make financial sense for me to get a "real" job to pay my bills.

I recently bought a home from this agent and he knows I have some money tied up because of my husband's untimely death--he was surgeon.

My thoughts are that it would be faster this way to acquire a new income generating asset than to wait the 8-12 months for reconstruction.  

My current agent wont let me get a RC policy without it being close to the cost to reconstruct new which is almost double of market value, if not I have to go ACV. 

"Reconstruction Cost" is not Replacement Cost.

He tore it apart, and together we re-constructed a better plan with more realistic goals (buy 12 houses, not 100) and a better marketing plan.

You just have to do your best to reconstruct what is going on and compare that to typical costs for that size of property.
