@Aaron BeauchampFor properties that did flood and were in food zonea and were purchased by flippers, did they sell just as fast as before because of the demand for housing or were people more cautious about buying a home in a flood zone?

That's great if you are a fast food restaurant, call center, or employing an army of drones following scripts.

@Ty Primers  I have to differ (just a little) with @Doug Pretorius or at least give some food for thought. 

Unless it becomes a safety issue, I would not worry about it. 

Just food for thought..

Hello all,My name is Patrick Ellis, I currently work in construction as a Safety Professional in Michigan. 

Vacations are the first thing to get cut from people's budgets when things get tough so you need a much bigger safety net to make it through those times and have to be willing to ride those waves to get the benefits

Food for thought...

Spas, food & drink, etc... 

Depends on your goals there.IMO, if the seller ignored something as large as a foundation wall needing replacement and you already sense there may be other deferred maintenance that was ignored, I would want a larger margin of safety than being all-in at retail value after this major repair with still more work to do.
