What to check on this one

  • Verify roof age and condition; 1965 home likely needs inspection or replacement soon.
  • Order 4-point inspection and wind-mitigation report before closing.
  • Confirm flood zone via FEMA map; get elevation certificate if AE/VE.
  • Request plumbing material documentation; cast-iron drains common in 1965 builds.
  • Verify pool heater installation date and service records with current owner.
  • Obtain homeowners insurance quote; verify insurer will accept home age.

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