I might have advised her to purchase a house that wasn’t so close to a river.
Well, yeah, there’s always that...lol
I have been dealing with folks for the past 25 years on issues regarding use of their own property. I am still in amazement that they have never taken the time to read their title documents about flooding, utility easements, o right of ways, etc.
I have always counseled my friends and family to review or let me help them review any property purchases they maybe considering before they find out what they want to do may not be as easy as they thought or not even possible to begin with.
it’s for people like her that flood insurance exists. I often wonder how on earth anyone is permitted to build in flood prone areas. In some flood prone areas, it is almost a guarantee of loss.
