Abstract: An insurer insures a real estate investor against a market devaluation of real property. A Shelter Value is established in the insurance contract either by the purchase price or an initial appraisal of the real property. If the real estate investor sells the property at a market loss, the insurer reimburses the client the difference between the Shelter Value and the sale price of the property. The insurer is protected against fraudulent, negligent, or bad faith conveyances by establishing within the contract a means for determining a Maximum Reimbursable Loss according to a Final Market Value of the home. If the sale price is greater than the Shelter Value, no indemnity is paid the client. If the sale price is below the Shelter Value but above the Final Market Value, the client is awarded the difference between the Shelter Value and the sale price.
