New Flood Factor Risk Assessment

[Brian Childres]

I am under contract on a nice duplex in a great neighborhood.  My only concern is that it is a 6/10 on the new Flood Factor on realtor.com.  Fema shows that it is low risk and I am doing about $3,000 worth of drainage work. I have also paid for an in-depth assessment on the property.  I feel that the risk is minimal where the duplex is specifically located.  My main concern is property value down the road when I sell.  Is anybody familiar with this new rating system produced by First Street Foundation?
