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 the bottomland ownership and what the dock permit allows

2. 02

   Check the lake board's rules on watercraft and no-wake hours

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
