What to check on this one

  • Verify roof age and get 4-point inspection—1942 home will need wind-mitigation report for insurance.
  • Confirm flood zone with FEMA map and county—get elevation certificate if in AE/VE.
  • Check plumbing material (cast-iron/polybutylene common pre-1942)—costly replacements likely.
  • Verify ADU legal status: permitted, financed separately, rental restrictions in force?
  • Pull permit history on any additions/ADU conversion—unpermitted work kills financing and resale.
  • Inspect HVAC age, electrical panel condition, foundation for settling cracks or water intrusion.

Flagged from the listing itself — not an inspection, and no substitute for one. Bring these to the showing.
