In 2021, Jeremy Garcia's commercial realtor brought him a semi-off-market listing for a 14-acre vacation resort located on the shores of Lake Michigan in North Muskegon. The resort had been closed for two years due to Covid, and the seller's reported income pre-Covid didn't come close to justifying the $2 million price tag they were asking for. They also weren't willing to consider seller financing, which seemed to be the only way to justify their price since the lack of a financial history made the property un-financeable. So how were we able to close on this property in 2022? In this episode of Next Level Thursday, Jeremy and I break down the challenges we had acquiring this vacation resort and the strategy we employed to find a lender for an un-financeable property.

Welcome to Next Level Thursday! On our very first episode we're going to discuss FEMA Flood Zone Maps and why you must include them in your due diligence when buying any type of property. Both lenders and insurance companies look at FEMA flood maps to assess risk and determine whether you'll need to pay for extra flood insurance—which can be quite costly. If you're already paying for flood insurance, then you'll also want to re-check the FEMA flood maps because they've been updated in the past year. I'll discuss my property where we were paying an extra $15,000 in flood insurance, and how FEMA revised their flood maps and I don't have to pay that any longer.
