What Should You Check Before Buying in The Preserve at Oak Island?
- HOA documents. Get the current budget, rules, rental rules, and any special assessments for The Preserve at Oak Island. Fees and rules change.
- Master policy. Ask what the association insurance covers and what your own HO-6 policy needs to cover inside the unit.
- Flood zone. Check the FEMA flood map for the exact address. Some Southport streets near the Cape Fear River, the marsh, and the Intracoastal Waterway sit in a flood zone, and others do not.
- Insurance quote. Get wind and flood quotes early. Coastal premiums can change your monthly payment more than the price does.
