Just wondering if anyone is taking climate change issues into account, even as a minor factor, when deciding where to invest? Came across this after someone told me my current target area, Virginia Beach, was sinking, so exacerbating any sea level rise. Turns out, it's like the 2nd most vulnerable location (after New Orleans) in the U.S. I realize 2040 or 2060 is a long way off, but we feel this may be a valid argument as our goal is to leave our property to our children. It would be frustrating to invest in rentals that are literally underwater at about the time they are paid in full.
