Hi everyone,I've been interested in investing in Canadian real estate for some time, but the price-to-rental income ratio never quite made sense to me.

A lot of times you don't know what the big box guys are going to refer to you.

.- Gradual Rate Increases: Increases are phased in over time for policyholders who see higher premiums, with annual caps on the rate hike.- More Predictable Rates: Rates better reflect the real risk rather than just being based on a flood zone map.Example Scenario (Simplified)- Old System: A house in a designated flood zone pays $1,000 annually, regardless of its elevation or distance from the water.- Risk Rating 2.0: That same house may now pay $1,200 if it's closer to the water and more vulnerable or $800 if it's higher up and better protected.Flood zones still matter under Risk Rating 2.0, but their role has changed.
