House in a floodplain

[Brandon Ellis]

What is your alls take of houses built in a flood plain. I figure I could just get flood insurance for the property and the rent ROI would still be good for the property.

I've noticed sense hurricane Michael came through NC some areas sprung up as being flood areas around NC.

We've always steered clear of properties in floodplains, and will continue to do so.  The main reason is the challenge you'll face when trying to resell it later.  You've got questions regarding the subtleties of owning a property in a floodplain and you're an investor, I'd expect your future buyer-pool would be less informed than you, and not take the time to even consider a property such as this.  Basically, you greatly diminish your exit strategies when buying in a floodplain.
