I started in Real Estate at 13 too and my favorite Bible verse that helped me get through some of the constant "Advice" about me being too young etc was 1 Timothy 4:12 "Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity."

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 :)

sounds like he needs a sit down and given the "speech" - straighten up or move out without affecting your credit.

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.

.- Pay for an elevation certificate. 

We did not get a certificate of elevation via land survey before we bought this property.

Same price (basically) for an actual house with kitchen....where you can feel 'at home' and come and go without an elevator.....

No guru pitches, no formal speeches, just good conversations with professionals.
