Adding insurance to physical assets for net worth when applying?

Hi everyone,

 

Something occured to me the other day when I was beating myself up for buying things and not saving up earlier for this mortgage process...

 

I have probably around $20k in musical instruments, photography equipment, etc. that are uninsured.  For the past few years, I've also been recording my profits (not huge, on the order of a few thousand dollars per year) from music/photography on my tax returns. 

 

Can I use those physical assets to help demonstrate my net worth?  Do they have to be insured to work this way?  I know they aren't hugely liquid, but I could certainly sell everything if I ever needed to.

For mortgage underwriting purposes, liquid assets is what they're looking for ... so I don't believe that those wonderful hard assets [assessing market value is a huge issue] won't help you.
