What to check on this one

  • Confirm actual flood zone designation — seller remarks omit it; check FEMA map yourself.
  • Order 4-point inspection (roof, plumbing, electrical, HVAC) — 1927 home requires it for insurance.
  • Verify roof age and material; insurers may decline homes over 20 years old.
  • Inspect plumbing for cast-iron or original galvanized lines; 1927 homes often need replacement.
  • Get pre-approval letter; confirm lender will insure a home this age in this condition.
  • Request list of all recent renovations with permits and contractor invoices.

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