Florida - Should I buy a flood vaccum

[Jonathan Baptiste]

Hi,

I am in the process of buying my first rental (house hacking)! I am new to Florida and I am buying in West Palm Beach. I not in a high risk flood zone but I know anything is possible especially with recent event showing that anything is possible (New York City looked like sea world for a few days). Does it make sense to own a flood vacuum to clear any potential floods by myself. They don't look cheap. But damages and having someone do it for me can also be costly. Interested in hearing other's thoughts

Thanks
