The big four: flood-zone designation and what flood insurance will actually cost, the condition of any seawall or shoreline protection, how salt and moisture exposure have been managed (roof, windows, HVAC), and any rules covering docks, rentals, or shoreline changes. Ask for elevation certificates and insurance history up front.
