that you in advance for your assistance,John

Our mortgage was significantly higher than our flood insurance, and I don't know if we qualify to try to apply for FEMA or if there is other assistance, and if so, if we would apply as a business (we file it on our personal taxes as rental income).

Happy to assist where I could.Good luck!

A few updates that didn't fit into the above post:The attorney who handled our closing offered to assist the sellers pro-bono in an effort to recover some of the equity.

As a landlord be symethetic to the tenants, and use your available resources to assist when they need it, but do not give into demands for situations outside of your control. 

Are there better returns to be had renting to EDEN housing assistance renters, or should I stick to cash-paying tenants?
