Hi everyone! I am working to submit a permit for a porch that was built on my property. Unfortunately, my licensed porch builder did not submit a permit. I paid a Land Surveyor company for a Contextual Land Survey. I need a site plan and rendering to submit for the permit as well and am having difficulty locating the right person. Does anyone have a good contact to connect me to?

Also if anyone has any advice in submitting this type of permit application for Metro Codes - any help/advice is appreciated!

Hi there! I'm in the process of making my first real estate investment and came across a property that is of high-flood risk.

This is not uncommon for my location - about 14% of all properties in my city have a 26% or greater chance of severely being impacted by flooding in the next 30 years.

I'm currently looking at a duplex that is "extreme" flood risk (10/10 rating). I know the short-term solution here would be flood insurance... but long-term, I know this will affect resell value.

As an investor newbie - is it worth avoiding & looking at other potential duplexes?
