From Medical and Dental, to automobile, life and of course your homeowners insurance.

That covers the main portion of the condominium building, such as common areas, lobby, exterior, etc. But when it comes to your condominium, you need to have a policy not only to protect your personal belongings, but to cover the interior of your condominium as well.

What's all that stuff worth? You might be surprized when you look at this appraisal review of a 1,200 sq. ft. condo:
