Personally, I think this company is probaby about to go out of business - they have lots of inventory, and it's not exactly prudent to be investing in FL in the coastal areas now anyway.  

Also the Adelson family of Las Vegas Sands fame have purchased a couple of big parcels with hopes to build a giant casino/convention resort perhaps anchored by the arena for the Mavericks for which they also just purchased majority ownership from Mark Cuban. 

If the wood perimeter is higher than the concrete floor (which I think it is per your explanation) you could always try to sand down the wood that is on the perimeter to try and get it flush with the concrete.

For example, in Mexico, you don't have to put minimum 40-60% down, interest rates are not in the 10's and you can get 20- to 30-year mortgages and you can't get any shorter actually and the right areas would fir within @Richard Foltys' criteria.

The reality is the really rich have coastal properties and they're not going to accept nothing when it's wiped away even if they have hundreds of billions, there'll be recourse.

But my 4 renters are in there 30's-50's and work 50+ hours / week building naval ships and submarines and they enjoy being close enough to walk to the shipyard and coming home to a brand new house with all the modern upgrades. 

Nearby new build 3/2 SFRs start in the mid-200's, and there's a lot under construction.

For one of my multi-family properties, I chose to dig my toes in the sand and make extra payments on the principal until it was paid off. 

Arizona’s steady flow of out-of-state buyers and rental interest, along with its attractive tax environment, makes it a top choice for investors who prefer markets with minimal seasonal fluctuations.Southern California: Coastal Appeal with High DemandCalifornia as a whole can experience seasonality, especially in its northern regions.
