Review Taxes and Assessments
Check the property tax statement for taxes and special assessments, and review whether you qualify for homestead classification. A seller’s exemptions or classification may not reflect your situation, so confirm the details before setting your budget.
Compare Insurance Coverage
Get a quote for the specific home and review wind and hail deductibles, roof coverage, and exclusions. A lower premium can come with more out of pocket expense after a claim, so compare the coverage as well as the price.
Check Lake Home and Cabin Eligibility
If you are considering a lake home or cabin, share the property details and how you plan to use it. Access, heating, utilities, and well or septic systems can affect eligibility. A seasonal property may not qualify for the same financing as a home suitable for year round use.
