If you are near the border it may be worth it to look into more but if you are not then you are pretty much stuck paying the premiums.The maps are updated as technologies, methods and data become better at predicting which areas are higher risk but that is out of your control.

I think this borders on insanity.Take your cash (and family, though I'm in the camp that thinks kids in Vegas for vacation are not the best idea) to Vegas and gamble in the casino.

Thank you @Ron Averill  @John Cimino I am looking more so towards the PA border because I work in PA.

I'm working on a parcel right now that has some old graves on it, is bordered on 3 sides by an old landfill, a sewage treatment plant, and a radioactive waste storage facility, and there are 2 homeless squatters who have been camping on it for 5 years. 2.)

They too could have just kept using the land but they wanted to control it.If it were me I'd be looking to see if I could profit on a resale to a bordering property, regardless of zoning.  

I like a nice fat border of mulch or rock, with drought-resistant plants.

I agree, 38115 that is bordering 38118 is crummy, but we have several homes renting for $1,000 +.  

To pool money like that w/o any kind of agreement borders on securities fraud.

It is more complex when investing across the border.
