Hey guys! I came across an article about flood insurance soaring costs on CNN money. ( can't provide a link since I am using the BP app). How do you think this will affect rental properties located at high flood risk areas? Thanks, Edita

@Mike LaCava just had a great meetup for this topic. It's not just the rich, investments, or vacation homes. There are entire communities being affected. I passed by a house this past weekend being raised...it was hideous, but it's not like they could do anything else. It's not cheap, and it was a small house.

I'll try to link to a Boston Globe article:
