- Obtain 4-point inspection (home >25 yrs old) and wind-mitigation report for insurance quotes
- Confirm actual flood zone — marked unknown; check FEMA map and get elevation certificate if AE/VE
- Verify plumbing material — 1920 build likely cast-iron or galvanized; confirm no polybutylene in any updates
- Review all renovation permits and final inspections, especially electrical, plumbing, AC, roof coating work
- If planning rental: confirm zoning allows short-term rental and review any city registration/licensing requirements
