What to check on this one
- Verify flood zone designation and obtain elevation certificate for St. Johns River proximity.
- Confirm roof age/material and get 4-point inspection report given 1986 build year.
- Review plumbing type (polybutylene/cast-iron common in 1986—confirm full replacement in remodel).
- Obtain insurance quote; riverfront older homes face higher premiums and insurer restrictions.
- Verify scope and permits for all renovation work; request contractor/permit documentation.
