For condo investment you want low rise building no elevator/pool, door man, etc all these cost too much to maintain.

If you’re in a flood zone you might have to get a Elevation certificate determining the height of your home.

But what if you have an upstairs apartment in a three-story building with no elevator?

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. 

If it's in one, you can contest it and change it if you get an elevation survey proving you're above the flood zone. • Don't listen to people who aren't investors themselves, you'll get your fair share of discouragement from certain people. • Always visit the market you want to invest in and drive the streets before you invest there. • Don't compile all your team members (property manager, contractor, agent, etc) into one person. 

I am a full time Elevator Constructor in DC and looking to take on this real estate business full time.

The 300 and 310 units are both the same tenant - a doctor's office who also has a rehab center (the previous owner installed an elevator for them 1 year ago).Tenant 105 signed an extension for 3 years to 2020 last month at the same rent terms (3% annual increases from the current rent).Unit 200 is a dentist (lots of plumbing installed specifically for them). 

Hi @Zack EllardI suggest you work on a better elevator pitch.  

Flooding is unpredictable and flood plain maps are based on elevation, so there is a reason the house is in the flood plain.A couple things to consider about flood plains:1.

Who knows they may be able to work something out with you and elevate the situation a hair.
