Mine is a vacation home/STR but at 9800 feet elevation so speed is of the essence to get the shell weather tight before the short building window closes in the fall.  

The rates are all the same based on the floodzone and elevation.

The required paperwork they give you on radon when you buy a house here says that 50%-70% of houses in Iowa have elevated levels.

What is everyone’s thoughts on a unit being on a 3rd floor with no elevator in a ski location?  

I would expect vacancy rates to remain elevated for several quarters, which will keep pressure on rents and possibly lead to concessions by apartment owner/operators.

This would also assume you are raising the concrete slab to meet the existing finished floor elevation. :)

It is a mirage to think all will choose to elevate, to strive, truth and fact is a minority do so and choose such, a significant minority.

I don't know how they would get lots of contractors due to elevator and busy building restraints.

In NC, the GIS can let you see a topography map (every 2 ft or 6ft of elevation change), and sometimes if there is public water or sewer available at that location.If you don't already have your real estate license (or don't want to get it), you can find a local real estate agent that can help you...please tell the agent your plans, please don't just "use" them and have no intention of letting them earn a commission.Best to you,Sherry

We elevated our look and we stay booked at a 90%+ rate every month except may and September which is closer to 75-80%.
