Special assessments for the elevator.

From a surface view it would appear there are "no rentals available in the area" (therefore, little or no economic opportunity for rentals) Investment homes in these areas are leased quickly, with multiple applications at elevated rental rates.

Gross Rent of ($33,900) is much higher than actual collected rent $27,782Expenses (repairs & maintenance) appear elevated for a structure built in 1999.

But the risk is not elevated beyond normal considerations in the places you mentioned.

What do you think a person can do to make a good elevator pitch?

We do a lot of work in flood zones and from what I've heard regarding "stilts"(we call them pilings) is you're looking at 20-30k extra over a traditional slab with a crawl space....Most of our footings are within a couple feet of sea level so we've never needed pilings but if you're indeed that deep you defintiely can't pour a footing on top of muck.....The other concern is flood insurance - the lower your first floor elevation the higher the flood insurance - I'd imagine if your first floor is under 10' the insurance would be astronomical.....your best bet is to talk to an engineer, get a survey, and go from there.

Yeah, I need to check the flood maps and elevation of the site, I think the property may actually be located high enough in elevation to never worry about a flood unless the entire Puget Sound region is under water :)

If the line touches ANY part of the house (deck, garage, anything), then you are in that zone - unless you can prove to FEMA that the lowest elevation of the house is above the level indicated for that zone on the map.

This somehow elevated to murder.
