I have a 70 foot wide lot in Toms River with 2 HOUSES ON IT...and it's on the water and in a flood zone. Would it make sense to look into buying it and renting both out? I've heard that houses in flood zones need to be raised but I've also heard there are ways around it. If the numbers, as far as cash flow for each one, make sense, is this worth doing or am I getting myself into trouble?

@Jon Holdman 

Ok great, thanks again Jon!

@Tuan Le 

Thank you, Tuan. I will surely check them out!

@Mathew Lambright 

That sounds great, I'll check it out. Thanks!

I kind of sensed that you were but I wasn't too sure. Thanks for the advice though, that sounds like the right thing to do. I'd rather save the initial start-up fees for the LLC and put them into something that will make me more money. Maybe put them towards using direct mail.

@Peter MacKercher 

Oh ok, thank you

@Jon Holdman 

Works like a charm Jon, thanks! Could you explain what "vote" and "award" mean on this site or tell me where I could learn about it?

@Bob E. 

Hey Bob, thanks for the reply, I found out it actually only works with my browser if I type "@?"

@Trevor Ewen 

Oh ok, thank you Trevor. Any idea what the "vote" and "award" functions are for?

I know this may be a silly question, but I'm still very new to this site and I don't see anywhere that explains it. What does the "vote" and "award" functions mean in a discussion and how do you "@" someone. I've tried just typing the symbol but it never triggers what looks like its actual function. Just trying to get the elementary stuffdown first before I dive into the rest of BiggerPocket's resources.

Thanks!
