If I buy house for investment i run the numbers and everything look good but and its a big but... the house on flood zone from 1-10 he at 9 now let me make it clear its not a lake or something close to it city close to downtown chiago not lake around it very metropolitan area.. but flood zone 9 so i know its can be a big factor when i want to riff after i finish my renove there and want to take my money back 75% i know also the insurance van be factor with the price i can pay every month.. so if some have idea or experience with this subject the house located  oak park Illinois.. 

If house-hacking isn't your thing, then maybe BRRRR is, or even just identifying buy-and-holds to just start getting some kind of cash flow is an alternative as well.Happy to help where i can, good luck!
