What should an Aggie grad research about flooding before leasing in Houston?

Quick answer

Research the exact property and immediate area rather than judging an entire Houston neighborhood with one broad label. Look at current official flood information, drainage context, access routes and any property-specific history you can verify. Ask management practical questions about garages, entrances and past water issues. Grant treats flood exposure as an objective research item that should be checked separately from whether he likes the neighborhood socially.
