We'd like to address some of the concerns you've raised to provide clarity on our processes and policies.

The most expensive cost for me was the holding time and the stress of possibly raising the house by a foot from the Base Flood Elevation.   

It looks like they are sending out refund contracts kind of on a first-come, first-serve basis, with some levels of priority because there are so many investors in these deals, which is why I'm posting this to get moving on this ASAP given the number of investors who are jumping in for refunds.I do not recommend you stay in this deal because they will be raising prices.

We have inherited good and bad tenants, if there is a few months before their lease is up you have time to decide whether they stay or go, and if you want to raise rents or change any other terms.  

Investors, (two of us) ultimately funded about 32% of the project with cash and additional money was raised from members of the local REIA, simply by word of mouth.

I have seen property owners have to raise the prices of rent due to inflated property values and insurance coverage. 

Secondary is to raise potential rents for when I move out soon and rent it. 

For example we had a goal of $2.5M raised in Q1 and we hit $2.8M.

-interior floor plan not ideal for raising a family but looks ok for STR.

Does the utility provider throw in perks when they raise their prices?
