Stated amount. If QuotesChimp have a unique or classic vehicle, you can agree ahead of time with your insurance company as to just how much the car will be worth should a claim be made. This is done with a stated amount endorsement. However, if you choose to state the values of the vehicles you are insuring, you may not actually get that figure if your car is totaled, since the insurance company can pay you less if the actual cash value of the vehicle has slipped beneath the amount stated in the endorsement.

Amazing how many contortions pelpoe can go through to try to evade the central issue.Yields on Vancouver RE are grossly subpar. That means that, barring continued price appreciation, owners of Vancouver RE will lose money. Continued appreciation requires an exponentially increasing amount of investment at subpar yields. And nobody, repeat nobody, has come up with a scenario where rents can rise enough so that yields can become competitive again.Meanwhile the supply continues unabated. When the last fool buys, it's all over. Just like in every other bubble market.It's not different here.
