I want to go back to school and get my masters in an area that will elevate my company and help establish myself in the investing industry ( I do not want to be an agent I want to be an investor).

and obviously nothing can be built on drainfield.after you purchase the property, you will have to call a surveyor to request an Elevation Certificate - this will inform the Architect how high the house has to be built above the ground, if any (assume you will if other newer homes are built on stilts).

BEWARESuperior environmental conditions- Just as the wine industry one must have the right terroir to grow the best products which includes the right elevations and sun exposure.

But even then, the elevation of the particular property as it compares to the base flood elevation for the neighborhood is what will determine the cost of the flood insurance.Most condo and apartment buildings do not allow STRs, so a unit with a full service entrance and 24/7 security would be difficult to do legally. 

Basement with bulkhead, can't find a flood elevation certificate yet.

The current owner owns the duplex out right, so no loan with the bank so he doesn't have to have the flood insurance, which he doesn't have it now. and can't provide me with the elevation certificate. 

Assuming you are taking an elevator regardless. 

@Dariaus Baillie congrats on joining BP and elevating your network.

You may start out doing grunt jobs, but over time you will get elevated to higher responsibility. 

I'm a huge believer that great pictures and a clean posting can really elevate the caliber of tenant that will show.
