The NFIP program is actively being reviewed and we could see some changes in the near future.Flordia will soon be requiring by code, free board which basically means building to a certain hight over base flood elevation for new construction.

@Brandon Snyder is the home registered as a boarding house?  

They are pretty helpful down there if you speak to one of the regular folks (not talking about RAP Board) And aren't landlord haters (at least to your face!!!

I recommend you spend some time browsing/reading/following the forums.

I'm talking to agents and contractors (who are of course on board) but I work full-time so that adds another wrinkle.

There are some smaller groups focused on fix & flip, wholesaling, and more.I am on the advisory board of Hobby Millionaire.  

One house has been boarded up for atleast a year and a couple had notices for grass being to long back in July and one had no notice but a note saying a mgmt company was notified it was vacant and locked it up.

I've been a passive onlooker for awhile now (browsing forums/reading articles) and am excited to learn and share more actively with everyone.

A property close to one of mine was nearly boarded up after the tenants were selling coke under the landlord's nose.
