What to check on this one
- Confirm flood zone designation and elevation certificate requirement with county.
- Obtain roof inspection report—1920 home likely needs wind-mitigation assessment.
- Request 4-point inspection (roof, HVAC, plumbing, electrical) for insurance.
- Verify plumbing material; cast-iron or galvanized lines common in 1920 builds.
- Confirm short-term rental eligibility and any local permitting requirements.
- Review property appraiser records for recent renovation scope and permits pulled.
Flagged from the listing itself — not an inspection, and no substitute for one. Bring these to the showing.
