Fighting Flood insurance
I wanted to ask if anyone has thoughts on fighting to have your FEMA flood insurance lowered. Right now I have a property that is in the AO zone. I was thinking about these 2 strategies right now:
1. Get a quote though Lloyd’s of London. I read on BP that people had been doing well with them.
2. I just talked to a surveying company. I asked for a bid on what it would be to get an Elevation Cert. and file it with FEMA.
Anyone have an idea on other companies or how they have lowered their bill?

Pay the house off and you dont need flood insurance
