Compare rebuilding with selling as it stands
Put written cleanup, remediation, and rebuilding estimates beside a written offer and its terms. Consider how much work you want to manage, how long the work could take, and the property costs you expect to keep paying while you decide. Ask your insurer and mortgage servicer how the claim and loan requirements apply to your situation; don't assume a particular payout.
Use the Chillicothe home-sale net proceeds calculator with your own planning assumptions. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.
