Choosing single-family homes in Fort Lauderdale
For a home near the coast, assess lot elevation and drainage. If there is a dock or pool, inspect its condition and permits along with the home.
- House: roof, windows, air conditioning, electrical and plumbing systems based on an inspection.
- Lot: boundaries, drainage, trees, parking and usable outdoor space.
- Records: permits for additions, a pool and alterations; restrictions on future changes.
Add property tax, insurance and roof, yard and pool maintenance, if applicable, to the purchase budget. In a community with an association, check its dues and restrictions separately. A home without an association may have no community dues.
If you plan to rent the property out, check association rules where applicable and the requirements for the actual address. Location or a community name does not establish rental eligibility.
