I was using text to speech on an Iphone. 

By the way , Tom had another bad stroke and really messed up his speech and walking.

It's the first step in the flood zone analysis, then possibly having to get an elevation certificate.

Does the unit have elevators or just stairs?

I used to house hack my way through investing, elevating the property slightly each time, either by selecting a bigger property, or a nicer area. 

Also, the lower units may be below the area's base flood elevation, which would prohibit you from rebuilding them unless you somehow raise the house.

Took my kids to the courthouse in Carthage where they have an old school elevator, their minds were blown. 

Rents seem to be elevated here compared with many markets.

Joshua Lawrence with Elevate Investment realty is great.

What really kills them are all the missed payments up to the point of the short sale is successfully closed- Credit reports show the mortgage as an account paid in full- Can buy a new house within one day of a short sale- Eligible for an FHA loan within 2 years versus 7 years with foreclosure- Keep government security clearance- Get your dream job because they're are no foreclosure on your credit history (yes, companies can check your credit history)- Pay less on every loan you get for the rest of your life versus elevated interest rates with a foreclosure on your credit historyPros for an investor buying short sales:- Bank usually takes a discounted amount for a property- Can control the offer amount and the way its negotiated- Can control your deposit amount (no need for +10% down payment)- Good negotiators can get you a good deal- Can send in a contractors report for further discounts- Plenty of people that need help = lots of potential deals to be made.- Be a hero to a family that thought foreclosure was the only option out!
