I would have your agent shop the Flood rates with the Private Market programs to see if there is an inexpensive option.  

Elon Musk's The Boring Co. grabs land east of Austin through a separate entityProperty records tie the tunneling company to 73 acres in rural Central TexasProperty records filed with Bastrop County reveal that Gapped Bass LLC purchased 73 acres in May in Northwest Bastrop.It would seem that the few dozen job postings in Austin for the Boring Co. and now the linked entity land grab East of Austin indicate Elon is setting up multiple shops in the region.  

@Cristin Rakestraw We always mention the walkability to downtown shops and theaters.

@Isaiah Stiverson Congrats on making such a smart decision so early on.  

Just keep shopping around.

If you prefer the formal process of going through a buyer's agent that early in the shopping process, let the agent know up front your timeline and your motivation or lack thereof for buying on that timeline. 

First check with your bank, then banks and credit unions, but, they will want an appraisal on the property most likely along with your first born.There are note buyers who will buy a portion of your note, like 4 years worth at a discount, you would need to shop them.It would be easier to sell the note in whole or in part with a repurchase agreement at a later date.

In order to get the best deal, I did some shopping around. 

The CE Shop is the best, but they don't offer pre-licensing anymore.

More than that and most tenants will start shopping for a new place.
