What to check on this one
- Verify roof age and get 4-point inspection—home is 41 years old, insurer requirement for coverage.
- Confirm flood zone designation with FEMA; property near pond requires elevation certificate if in AE/VE.
- Inspect well and septic system condition; rural property requires functional permits and recent service records.
- Check plumbing type (polybutylene/cast-iron common in 1985); costly replacement issue if present.
- Verify AR zoning livestock limits in writing; confirm county permits for existing garden/irrigation setup.
- Get wind-mitigation inspection; 41-year-old roof may qualify for insurance discounts if reinforced.
Flagged from the listing itself — not an inspection, and no substitute for one. Bring these to the showing.
