Where are the elevator pads?

I just came across an article touting a strategy that helps remove the lender flood insurance requirement.This improved cost savings after buying multifamily by hundreds of dollars per door.Research showed about 60% of buildings in a flood zone are incorrectly rated.Elevation Certificates are needed to review each specific building in a high-hazard flood zone to determine whether the building is on a naturally high ground above the base flood elevation.

(New roof on one section, HVAC, mold, illegal utility hook ups, sewer replacement, and elevator issues.

In the Arvada area there are some good units, but the pricing has definitely seemed elevated for the levels of returns.

I'm taking: a notebook, two pens, a handful of business cards, and a few trial elevator speeches.Is anyone else on BP going to be there?

But I think it is worth one hour per week if for nothing else, to improve the quality and performance of your elevator speech and value add.

Elevators generally kill expenses. 

This doesn't affect me directly, but is a news article I recently came across regarding an HOA that won't allow a home owner to install a radon mitigation system. http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/local-news/st...The owner was apparently set to sell the home, but the buyer's inspection revealed elevated radon levels.

if its on the edge you may be able to get it pulled out, or if its in an unmapped area, they put it in as a precaution, you will need an appropriate surveyor to shoot elevations and submit a LOMA Letter. if you are in and its Non Owner Occupied,  dont Buy it,  or if you own it, Pay it off and Self insure, those rates are ridiculous.

I read a lot about cap rates but have to think that the value is also significantly impacted by the age of it's major systems/components (e.g. elevator, hvac, lighting, etc).
