Im definitely Biased but Tampa, FL has properties that still cashflow even with elevated rates. 

Despite higher maintenance costs and elevated interest rates, the property generates enough income to cover the mortgage plus an extra $200 in positive cash flow. 

Def understand what you are saying, but with free speech, you have to take the bad with the good.

Plan to have an elevator or only offer less desirable stair access?

This forum has certainly elevated my networking and has helped me to create a team of people that are helping with my first REI.

The kicker is on my street, my property was the only one that got hit while the others were ok and most likely due to mine being at lower elevation (maybe). 

Older homes that aren’t elevated could suffer major damage when the next storm hits.Many expect market saturation in the coming months, as flippers are snapping up flood-damaged properties.

The elevated value stems from experienced operators who are on a similar level interacting and bouncing ideas off of each other.

I could then give more elevated discussions.
