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.

1. 01

   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

   Check the township zoning and whether the parcel is split-eligible

4. 04

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

5. 05

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