What to check on this one
- Verify roof age and get 4-point inspection—1978 home likely needs wind-mitigation cert for insurance.
- Confirm actual flood zone with FEMA map and elevation certificate if AE/VE.
- Review plumbing material (polybutylene/cast-iron risk pre-1995)—get inspection if uncertain.
- Inspect septic system service history and septic vs. municipal sewer.
- Walk AC compressor and water heater install dates—confirm warranty transfer eligibility.
Flagged from the listing itself — not an inspection, and no substitute for one. Bring these to the showing.
