Questions to bring on a scouting visit

Which daily trips matter most? What type of community feels comfortable? How much space and upkeep do you want? Which property details need a closer look: taxes, utilities, internet availability, well and septic systems, flood exposure, or HOA rules? We can organize the answers property by property.
