The elevation requirements can reek havoc on a flip, unless it's a teardown and rebuild.

This is my first time commenting on BP so I'm not sure what the ettiquette is here about sharing or promoting other products but this is about speed & best practices so here you go: My biggest forms of leverage & best sources for RE investing education have been: BP podcast, The Real Estate Guys (podcast, the book "Equity Happens", market field trips, Investor Summit at Sea), Rich Dad (Ken McElroy's books & CD's, KenFlix at KenMcElroy.com), The Elevation Group (membership site), my local Real Estate Investor's Exchange club, & local experts.

Has our name, phone number, and our "elevator" marketing statement....

I think you need legit quotes which may require a flood elevation cert (or whatever they call it) to get an accurate idea of cost.

Like an apartment on the 6th floor in Paris, 40m², 1000 EUR a month, 100.000 EUR down, the lady is 71 and there aren't any elevators.

I spoke with the Realtor and found the reasons:1) interior office, no windows, not desireable2) $6000/yr CAM (includes HVAC, gas, electric, maintenance of bathrooms, hallways, elevators, underground parking ["allotted," not deeded, parking space]).3) Adding CAM, taxes and insurance, it would cost $700/mo to own (not including debt service).

The other caution is in non-elevator buildings top floor units, like the third floor up, have generally less appeal especially to middle aged, elderly, and people who don't like all the steps.

Is there an elevator?

For example - let's say (I'm just making things up) you feel that some people look down on those without a degree in something and thus you feel insecure about it and want to get a degree to elevate your self-worth in your mind.

If any part of the house is in the 100 year flood zone, we always build the finished floor elevation to be 1 foot above that elevation, so even in a 100 year flood event, the house will stay dry.
