Quick answer
Ask about the exact property, garage, access roads, elevators, electrical systems, mechanical rooms, and residential units—not merely whether the neighborhood flooded. Find out when any flooding occurred, how deep it was, what remediation and repairs were completed, and whether documentation is available. Review current FEMA and local flood information, but understand that being outside a mapped floodplain does not guarantee zero risk. Consider drainage, garage elevation, evacuation routes, renter’s insurance, and how you would reach the property during severe weather. Older properties deserve particular scrutiny, though age alone does not determine flood exposure.
