crazy as it sounds you are better off NOT paying for insurance.

in ten years you saved enough to completely rebuild it at those prices.

sure its a big risk but the gamble is worth it at those prices and they are about to go up another thousand or two a year after they redo the flood maps.

build basic, keep it simple, make anything pricey transportable if need be and skip the damage insurance and just get basic liability coverage

I think its always been that way but if you buy it outright such as just buy the lot, put a trailer on it until you can afford to build your house/camp on it , or buy a lot with storm damaged camp in bad shape needing repair, then you aren't bound by that clause and its something you can buy outright without a loan.

because often the insurance costs the same or even more then the house note
