Once you go over 3 stories you will need an elevator and two sets of egress stairs.

Add to that the elevated turn-over ratio in C & D, and you can watch your cash flow fly out right out the window.

By the way this goes for exterior elevations as well.

Some of these properties in lower elevations may already be considered obsolete because of this.Setting the politics of climate change aside, it is a fact that water levels are rising in coastal regions, and some parts of PInellas county already have to deal with tidal flooding regularly. 

Doing a needs and option feasibility study will lay the proper groundwork up front because it clarifies the project constraints, reduces the risk of elevated construction costs, cost overruns, potential roadblocks, and change orders.Decisions made at the beginning of your project have great impact on the options you have available later.

A lot of the 2 and 3 story condo buildings don't have elevators. 

Any special needs like elevators, docks (for tractor trailers or smaller trucks?)

So the mix of equity and income appreciation can be good.With town houses the high end ones have elevators in them.

We should have installed an elevator.

I have renovated the ohana which we now rent for 1,200.00/month, replaced the windows and trim inside and out, painted the exterior, added landscaping, added a pantry, changed out all the ceiling fans, under cab lighting, added insulation, added solar PV with net meter, now working on the front elevation.
