What to ask about this one

Three questions worth putting to the listing side before you write anything. They are specific to this property, not a checklist.

   Confirm critical dune and high-risk erosion mapping on the parcel

2. 02

   Ask for any EGLE permits covering beach stairs or shore protection

3. 03

   Budget for a pre-1978 inspection — lead paint, knob-and-tube, and the roof

4. 04

   Ask what the taxable value uncaps to after the sale, not what the seller pays now
