After completing successful projects in the area, NFE contacted the owners of a Texarkana multifamily property. The client expressed frustration with high flood insurance premiums and their interest in finding solutions. They decided to explore potential savings with NFE.

Increased Net Operating Income (NOI): The client experienced a boost in their NOI by $10,000, directly resulting from the reduced flood insurance premiums.

Enhanced Property Value: The reassessment and removal from the high-risk flood zone led to an impressive increase in property value by $167,000, providing long-term benefits for the multifamily property.
