As investors, of course we are looking to upgrades homes in communities and elevate the desirability of areas, but there is an impact to that too. 

This deal is make or break on the premium for flood insurance and the insurance company cant find the elevation certificate, but insists there was one.

I plan to get an elevation certificate within the year to try to prove that my property, although in a flood plane, is not in a flood zone.

So with that said I’ve set a personal goal of closing a deal on my first property by years end, and therefore I’m sending out a personal invitation to all members who are in need of momentum and especially those in my local area let’s connect I’ll work hard with and for you we can elevate together!

What should my elevator pitch consist of?

Due to the FEMA code, they will have to be elevated.

You can't remove a house from the flood plain (unless you actually pick it up and move it) but you can have the house certified as being at a high enough elevation it won't likely flood.

Let them tell you whats needed and work with them through the process, establishing that you respect their authority on the matter and are trying to work with them can go a long way in making your life easier.For reference, a simplified lift of drawings required for a typical house permit in my area are:- a site plan, - floor plans for every level calling out life safety elements, dimensions, etc- building and wall sections describing the construction of all the building components as well as their r values - building elevations - Architectural details - Structural drawings and details- Structural Calculations  Hope that helps, feel free to reach out with any other specific questions you might have.

The elevator pitch is key!
