Prices are elevated already and all the "teachers" are saying the deals are out there just stay up all night to do research, ignore your family and quit your job to make it happen.  

Well when we arrived at the hotel we got in the elevator and people had already signed up.

Before signing a contract to buy, check the absolute elevation, and relative elevation.

One way is to elevate the house on stilts like houses build at the ocean. 

Beyond that, perfect your elevator pitch, and build a credibility website to point people to when they want to know more about you and your past successes. 

I even had a flood elevation cert done.  

The front elevation is a bit stark in terms of color and curb appeal.2.

With some elevation on west Maui and west Hawai'i it more rarely has these issues but do have a history too.

In contrast, if the property is out of state, has 5 commercial tenants, an elevator, and a more complex HVAC system, then you may be looking at 15-30 days.Hope this helps! 

I imagine there would be more engineering go into such a project than a horizontal addition.Going from 2 to 4 stories, for example, could limit marketability without also adding an elevator and other accessibility accommodations for the aging populace.
