In our building, the first floor was elevated, so someone would have needed a ladder to even get to the first floor a/c units. 

Bet they pay their car payments on time...elevate your significance in their lives.

They were wanting to look around to move to a town with less snow as tenants husband is in a wheelchair. ( this is in the Sierras, snow level varies with the elevation) The day i met with them I was also waiting on a repair person who was going to line the chimney.

An HR away from work at 8500 ft elevation in Colo.

the San Diego market takes another nosedive, I'd love to get back in and ride the elevator back up.I see my end game as being 1031 exchanges into NNN commmercial leases.  

At least the second property is elevated above the flood zone...3.

Dana Dunford Thanks for your perspective and elevating the risks.I just reviewed the Venmo user agreement now.

They had no balconies, no grass areas, no elevator (2 stories) no dishwashers, disposals, they didn't even get assigned parking as our little lot was not big enough for every tenant's cars or their guests.  

Matt's comments about the house being on a higher elevation in the street is a good point.

New building codes require properties to be elevated before building.
