re: 2016 Baton Rouge Flood Map and Flood Insurance Map

Yup I am lucky by inches.
The front part of Old Jefferson is higher and those people were ok.
Funny thing is when I drove in Sunday the area that always floods if you even cry by it on a dry day by the Cracker Barrel on Baringer Road was high and dry.

My place is paid for and did not flood but if I financed my place would require flood insurance. I do carry it and it is $1,300 a year with contents and structure.

I have been looking at some flooded homes to redo and rent but some people are asking more than they are worth after being flooded.

Now in River Oaks On Fontainebleau Dr I own two rental houses that flooded. This area never flooded until 2016. Luckily I did carry flood insurance and factor it into what I charge for rent.

i was surprised that Red Oaks had some water and Villa Del Ray. My parents own some homes they rent up in there.

Sherwood Forest I was lucky no damage to my rental homes. Two squeeked by no flood
damage.

My friend had 4 homes off Stevedale road off Florida Blvd in I believe Villa Cote. He said that the road would flood but never the homes. All four of his rental homes went under and he sold out.
