To echo the voices above, I do have concerns with the current market with the government imposed restrictions as well as the market being way overpriced.

I'm in it for the long haul and am learning how to adapt to what our government has been forcing on us.

That's what I did, and then by no coincidence ended up back in Chicago close to my family and friends.You can invest in real estate anywhere, I wouldn't let that govern where you want to live when you are 21 years old.

@ Jason Crowe here is a link that explains the flood vening for areas in a AE flood zone, Brake away walls are required in a VE flood zone. https://www.fema.gov/media-library-data/1585162441620-bd1b5b0d5cf34eda30d6363c63290d9a/FEMATB1_508_031320_rev.508.pdfAS for the lenders requirements to have flood insurance coverage; this is because any lender that gets government funds to offer a loan are instructed by the federal Law to mandate any structure that is in the high risk flood zone (flood zone that requires flood insurance) to purchase a flood insurance policy.Every lender for Every loan pull what is called a Flood zone determination (FZD) which will tell the lender if the property is or is not in the high risk flood zone (Typically a AE or VE).
