@Shayla Fletcher I check all properties at http://maps.lsuagcenter.com/floodmaps/ If the flood hazard areas show in blue, (or sometimes grey on old black/white maps) that is the effective map that is used to determine flood insurance rates and whether or not flood insurance is required by lenders. 

@Zana Blue as said above, if your property is worth more and you don't have a need to sell quickly then tell them to go away.

I'm simply pointing out the fact that rent increases and significant appreciation come form blue chip markets like costal CA.

That is where the 10% figure comes from, it's not arbitrary, not out of the clear blue, but has a justifiable basis in pricing according to industry norms. 

I love Salem ( was raised there ) and I think you can do well there in the blue collar areas especially.Good Luck!
