| Hervz | Wouldn't D be a viable option to estimate the value of replacing the property as well? |
| CFALucille | yes but appraisers generally don't consult with insurance companies when doing the cost approach, probably because it would cost them something |
| rjh512 | D is missing that the replacement cost must be adjusted for depreciation. |
| 923029 | The replacement cost is what insurance base their premiums on. |
I was very pleased with your notes and question bank. I especially like the mock exams because it helped to pull everything together.
