Building safety and permit questions
Do not enter if the house may be unsafe or access has been restricted. Follow directions from the fire or building officials and the utility responsible for the property. Before cleanup, repairs, or demolition, ask the local building official which permits or inspections apply to that address and work.

Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Put repair estimates and timelines beside the written sale terms. Consider what your insurer and mortgage servicer require, the costs of carrying the property while work is underway, and what you may keep after the costs for each option.
Use the Rhinelander calculator to compare possible sale proceeds with your own planning assumptions. It does not estimate fire repairs or insurance proceeds.
Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.
