From overwhelming challenges to remarkable success, National Flood Experts secures $14.7K in savings and $245K in added value for an Atlanta, GA, based property management firm for their Clarkston, GA, multifamily property.

Challenge: A property management and real estate investment firm faced challenges due to the flood zone designation for a Clarkston, GA, property, with the lender required them to maintain expensive flood insurance policies for two buildings.

Solution:
NFE conducted a thorough desktop engineering review of the property. To confirm potential solutions, a Flood Expert Survey (FES) was required. The data collected from the FES revealed valuable insights and data. Based on the findings, NFE qualified both buildings for a Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA). Upon approval, the LOMA would remove the lender mandate for flood insurance and provide long-term cost savings for the client.

Cost Savings: The successful removal of the lender mandate for flood insurance resulted in $14.7K in annual flood insurance premium savings, instantly increasing the NOI.

Property Value Increase:
In addition to the cost savings, the removal of the flood zone designation had a positive impact on the properties' value. Assuming a 6% CAP rate, the properties experienced an estimated $245K increase in property value.

Conclusion:
By leveraging NFE's expertise, the client was able to navigate the LOMA process with ease and achieve substantial financial benefits.
