If this guy is a scammer, I worry that the "approval application" you filled out might have asked you for sensitive personal info (SSN, DOB, etc.) that could be used to commit identity theft or credit card fraud.

However, when you look at the breakdown of the jobs that have been lost, the majority was in the service industry and have been temporary in nature.

I am sure you all can understand that getting fema to remove the property from a map doen't make mother nature say "oh we have to skip flooding that property because FEMA said it was not at risk".

Will not including this form NATURAL HAZARD DISCLOSURE STATEMENT accidentally cancel a purchase agreement contract?

It seems this is a natural first step for most inexperienced investors. 

When you have a lot of people bidding on the same thing and there's emotions involved, the prices naturally bid up so the appreciation of SFR nets you additional equity over time.   

In my opinion, this matches the nature of investment - there are risks and rewards and investors are meant to weather one and reap the other.

It's becoming more and more of a problem in contemporary homes, especially cheap tract-built properties that use a lot of less-durable, moisture sensitive materials in their construction and finishing.

Owning rental property comes with lots of natural risk.

I need to make an appeal by July 31st so it's a bit time sensitive.
