What to watch out for when you buy in Oakland Park
- Association fees and rules. Ask for the monthly fee, what it covers, any special assessment and the rental and pet rules in writing before you offer.
- Roof and air conditioning age. They drive insurance cost and the first big repair, so get the roof age on paper.
- A real insurance quote on the exact address, wind and flood included, while you are still inside your inspection period.
- Taxes. Look up the address on the Broward County Property Appraiser site instead of guessing from a neighbor's bill.
- A full professional home inspection on every purchase, condo or house.
Our free buyer guide walks through each of these in order, so you know what to ask before you tour.
