Dennis,first and foremost, I pray nothing happens to your property.You're wrong about pricings going up after a natural disaster.

Most leases you can purchase are generic in nature and do not equip you with very helpful tools to manage your property in the most effective and efficient manner, lowering costs, reducing liabilities, creating revenue centers, etc. 

Unfortunately, human nature is such that if I do spend hours, days, months vetting a sponsor, and ultimately sign off on them, I will already be biased to accepting the next deal they offer, regardless of whether it is good or not.  

Heating costs go up in winter, as does electricity due to the reduced natural light and more people indoors.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac offer mortgage relief to homeowners impacted by natural disasters, including those with second homes in areas like North Carolina and Florida.

This would make decision making hard, on top of likely needing owners to sign mortgage guarantees, etc.Not enough involvement/too many owners, that you no longer satisfy SECs rules for involvement and it is really a security that needs registered or exempted.Some middle ground, like DSTs or these other fractional ownership, where the admin work is so intensive that fees need to be higher to make it worthwhile for the operator.Then again, I am drawn to real estate, so by nature drawn to traditional, proven structures.  

.- The yard must be in good order with no debris, either natural or other.

Did you find the higher loan amounts were worth the short-term nature of the loan?

Everything is dark and the curtains aren’t even open to let in natural light.  

Hello @Ben Stanley,I want to share some thoughts on purchasing properties in areas with a high potential for natural disasters.
