Is anyone on SW close to the California wild fires ???

@JimboSaturn most buyers are required to obtain and retain flood insurance if in a flood zone, regardless the cost.
It's those that live close to those zones that arent required and neglect to get that insurance.

@Carla I know people who can't get flood insurance because of the likelyhood of floods.

@JimboSaturn really? How did they get a mortgage?

@Carla I don't know, they have house insurance but the insurance doesn't cover flood they said.

@JimboSaturn hmm...
In a flood zone. Ive never known a lender that would make that loan. There are ways around using a regular mortgage lender though, i suppose.

@Carla That does make sense.

@JimboSaturn thinking about it though...i bet renters might not be able to get flood insurance.
