We've also gone down to zoning and planing and gathered some good information.

Even more important is that unless you build a Real Estate Investment Business, you're going to struggle to build mansion in the hills, private plane wealth.

You can definitely be re-zoned in a new flood plane. 

I've pretty much taken the leap and am committed to either build my plane on the way down or hit the ground running. 

Buy yourself a plane ticket and a lockbox and you're all set!

The area I'm in doesn't appreciate much if at all, so I'm cautious to purchase a fixer-up in a C or D neighborhoods  Some of the ones that may have value are in flood planes and that kills the deal most of the time, because flood insurance is high and the rent in those areas range from $500-$625  We have been hit by two tornados  One yesterday and the other about 2 weeks ago.  

Hi Brian, I am still in this up to my neck now... 4:30 am calls are making me crazy.... so here is what I am thinking this morning- my clients have a home around the corner that we are planing to sell.

That's may be up to two tanks of fuel though depending on your plane.

Are you planing on living in your multi unit, or just buying a straight rental? 

I'd love your feedback and/or recommendations.I'm ready to hop on a plane out of LAX if need be to save a few thousand.Would love feedback, especially from investors in the Atlanta area.Thanks.bill
