Flood zone Vs. Apprasial

[Joseph Cameron]

Hello BP,

Just a couple questions about properties in flood zones. A duplex just came on the market we invest in and its in a flood zone. I am not afraid to invest in flood zone areas because I can adjust my numbers to account for the flood insurance. So here are the questions I have:

A. Does properties in a flood zone get appraised differently? 

B. Will the flood zone hurt the ARV? I'm sure it doesn't help it, just wondering if it hindered the value of the home?

Thank you everyone for your advice and info.
