It would also allow for air flow up there too.I'm looking for anyone who has experience and thinks it's a good idea, or anyone who can think of a reason not to do it.

I'm a member of the Air Force Reserves at MacDill AFB,  Tampa and I can't imagine what the flooding will be like there.  

I need to redo the waste and drain for an entire triplex, and wanted to do a furnace replacement/add central air.  

However - I live in Port St Lucie and Im hoping the damage isnt too much.

I ran across a place in Kingston / port ewen.

Even though Isabela is a very attractive spot for surfers, the bulk of families and vacation renters in general would like something closer to the airport, main landmarks and the metro area.

The pilot light is still lit and I can turn the furnace back on if I want.This is my first home - logically it makes sense to shut something off when not in use, but houses have so many nuances and I want to avoid a situation like "well since you shut off the furnace that cooled the insulation which then caused flaking which then clogged your air filter and yada yada your foundation broke and collapsed and there goes your investment."

As far as purchase price, rehab costs and arv that's all up in the air as it all depends.

Many say California's housing shortage is even worse than many think so that probably bodes well for the more affordable locations in SoCal moving forward.http://www.santacruzsentinel.com/article/NE/20170828/NEWS/170829674http://abc7.com/business/air-force-contract-expect...Good luck!

I have a townhouse i am purchasing in Bel Air Edison.
