After hurricane Irene and Sandy FEMA redid the flood zones and placed the property in a flood zone.

My husband and I are new to real estate investing and without knowing what we were doing, just finished our first live and flip in Sandy, UT.

There are several economic drivers within that area that have been bouncing back- albeit slowly- since Hurricane Sandy came through.

Soiling is a non-issue in my experience.

I know I need to verify sewer/utilities, easements, setbacks, soil feasibility, floodplain, density, zoning, etc. but I am not sure if that list is 100% comprehensive of what I should verify?

They have repaved parking lots, painted exterior and interior, completely redone and updated the show room and offices, and now they are stabilizing the soil around the building, effectively turning it into concrete.

@Sandi L williams, you must have some friends or family who has the 5% you need to purchase it, no?   

There is no one answer.....it depends on soil conditions, loads,etc.

Utah REIA (utahreia.org), UVREIA (uvreia.com), Salt Lake REIA (slreia.com), there's a wholesale meetup the second thursday of every month at mimis cafe in murray, and an investor meetup the 1st thursday of every month at club 90 in Sandy.

Most of the world, the land under the surface, (and all of the oil $$, soil, minerals, water, etc.), are owned by the government, so you only actually own the property on top of the land, this is called the Feudal System.
