• Do you buy another house right away? If you can.
• Do you wait for insurance to pay out and then rebuild? Yes.
• Do people even have enough insurance to rebuild? Depends.
• Is the mortgage still due at the end of the month? Yes, this isn't a rental.
• How much is a burned out lot worth? Slightly less than a vacant lot, assuming there isn't a glut of them for sale.
  

First thing contact your insurance co. tell them your house is unlivible and that you will need ALE alternate living expenses, this is money to help make up the difference you will have in expenses while you rebuild.... it is limeted on most policys...

• Start making a inventory of everything that was in your house ...
• Item descripition, where you purchased it and how old it was...
• Salvage what you can some things can never be replaced...
• If you can find any pics of what your house was before the fire they will help...

Leson to all of us to video tape the outside of there house and a walk thru, before any emergency strikews... and keep the tape in a safe deposit box....especially if you live in a high risk area all of california or within 20 miles of the coast ...

Remember your morgage is still due.. and a burned out lot is worth whatever a lot will bring on the market.. most policys will pay a little past policy limets for debrie remoal for your lot.... hopefully you have your home insured for what it was worth... a few years ago people got in trouble for adding additions and forgeting to tell there insurance co about it.

You get a phone call at work. It's a bill collector. You are embarrassed and ask the collector to call you at home...

The collector says he will continue to call you at work. What can you do?

Get the name of the bill collector and the name and address of his company. Send a letter to the company and tell them that you cannot accept personal calls at your work. Require that all communication with you be in writing and sent to you at your residence. (Cease and desist letter)

In addition, a collection agency cannot under any circumstances do the following:

• Harass you telling that you are going to jail or are subject to arrest if you don't pay the debt.
• Use obscene language.
• Telephone you repeatedly or often enough to harass you.
• Telephone at your residence after the regular working hours.
• Telephone your relatives or friends to inquire about your abouts.
• To contact your working place and inquire about your abouts... including your ongoing despute with the collection agency.

More information is available through the District Attorney's Consumer Protection Unit of your county residence.

I came across a post on  group: Realtors regarding Posting listings on Craig's list.

HOW TO FIND BUYERS ON CRAIGSLIST (highly recommend to read)

But reading the comments on the post I found a very interesting one in regard to reposting on Craig's List. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mary: every 48 hours! you can repost them.

geez Brett! I'm going to have to step up my game with you telling everyone. hehe. (no worries)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Before writing here I searched across Craig's List Forum to find out about this incredible option to repost your listing every 48 hours and did not find anything.

Now: I've been posting my listings on Craig's List for a wile and never been able to repost them earlier than 45 days. Checking back to my account I see:

Only the expired once (45days later) display: Repost this Posting...  So I can just do that. Other than that I don't see how can we repost after 48hours.

I went to my active ones and see: Delete this Posting and Edit posting... So how am I supposed to repost them after 48 hours.

Can anyone educate me and others here on AR community how we can do that?

Thanks,
