Before you make an offer
On rural tracts, ask about the water well (flow rate, pump condition, water quality) and the septic system's age and permit history. Walk the drainage: flat farmland can hold water after heavy rain. Ask about mineral rights, pipeline easements and surface-use agreements, especially in Jim Wells County. In town, look at foundation movement and the age of plumbing and wiring in older homes. Near NAS Kingsville, ask about flight-path noise zones. On Lake Corpus Christi, ask how changing lake levels affect the dock and what permits it carries.
Windstorm insurance and flood zones vary by property; Marci can point you to the right specialist. This isn't insurance or legal advice.
Good to know
Windstorm insurance rules change by county. Nueces and Kleberg are coastal windstorm counties; Jim Wells (Alice) and Bee (Skidmore) are inland. Ask an insurance agent how that affects a specific address.
