Self-insure seems like a good answer for those able to save up the replacement value of their home and put it into some kind of low-risk fund that can at least keep up with normal inflation.


That’s the challenge, many of these people are on fixed incomes or retired. The house they spent $125,000 on a little more than 10 years ago is now worth $500,000.

The $3-4,000 per year they are socking away won’t do much of anything other than a roof replacement. They dont have a spare half million hanging around. Plus the property taxes have greater than doubled too.

Where are houses en masse worth 4X what they were 10 years ago?
