Flood-zone / older coastal pockets

Lower-priced older properties in coastal flood zones with paper appeal, especially post-storm distressed listings.

FEMA AE/VE flood zones require flood insurance that can erase cash flow, plus storm exposure, roof concerns, and repair scope; advertised returns rarely survive the true insurance and NOI picture for a remote owner.

Investors who understand that the highest advertised yields often come with the highest execution risk.
