Investing in a personal computer is not less an amount. It is next only to investing in a house or a car. So, it’s not unwise an idea to insure your computer and its allied accessories like peripherals and software. However, how much coverage you get for what accessory depends on individual market offer. There are several threats your computer might face. Such as virus attack, data corruption, system crashing down, peripheral malfunctioning and many more. Thus, it is important for you to protect your investment by proper insurance coverage. There are certain aspects of computer insurance you must know.

Coverage under homeowner or renter’s policy

In most of the cases if you have homeowner or renter’s policy your home accessories and assets are also covered in that and so is your computer. It is covered against all the threats and disasters listed in the policy. Thus, if your computer gets stolen or gutted in fire you can claim for the damages. However, your computer gets covered only for the amount listed in your policy.

Replacement cost and actual cash value

Though replacement cost is 10 percent more expensive as compared to Actual cash value, keeping in mind that things depreciate fast, this is a very wise move. The reimbursement you get on replacement cost is the same as the current cost of your computer and not the petty depreciated cost you would get with actual cash value policy.

Coverage for Laptop and portable computer

Laptop and portable computers are considered personal possessions away from home under the homeowners or renter’s policy. Thus, they are also covered under this policy. However, there is a dollar limit on personal possession that are stolen or damaged away from home.

Computers don’t only get covered under the homeowners or renter’s policy. A number of insurance companies offer individual insurance policies for computers as well. It is important to remember that when you buy a computer insurance policy you must retain the receipt of the policy as well as that of the computer and its peripherals very carefully.

Computer insurance is vital for students, business professionals, small business owners, schools, home users with heavy usage and many more people who use computers for their critical applications. Computer insurance does not cover certain items such as maintenance costs, electrical or mechanical breakdown, wear and tear, fraud and dishonesty, consequential loss, and loss or damage caused by sonic bangs. However, they are well covered under the warranty/extended warranty of the equipment.

Rent or sell inherited house?
By: Liddy | 11-09-2008
Hi, I am trying to decide if I should rent out or sell a recently inherited house. The value of the property is about 370k which is my cost basis. For depreciation purposes the value of the building alone is about 250k. I could rent the house out for 1,550.00 per month. Monthly expenses will run about 675.00 ands all cash profit would be spent as income. If I sold the house I would invest about 350k and draw 4% off as income. I am in my 40's and my family income is about 75k. We currently own our own home and 1 rental property. Our income should be rising to over 100k over the next 5 years. I would like to look at three scenarios to decide if it is financially smarter to keep or sell the home. The 3 scenarios would be: 1) Keep the house, rent it (spending the profits) out and sell in 20 years. 2) Rent out the house and leave it to my children when I pass away (let's say in 20 years - for comparison). 3) Sell and invest the money over 20 years - spending 4% as income.
