Welcome Wagon...

I'm winding down on the 'shopping list' of final documents needed before the closing date. One important paper gets me a reduced rate on the mandatory insurance for the structure (and contents) is called a Wind Mitigation Report.

The home inspector I hired 3 weeks ago is licensed to make the report and he sent over a copy last night that I forwarded to some insurance companies who are preparing quotes. That report along with photos shows the structure and condition of the roof from the inside. It's all done to building code and shows no signs of leaks.

Chasing around to a few people will be in my life now, I asked the company who handles the Home Owners Association (HOA) if they have a welcome wagon and will walk me through some important things... like mailbox, location of trash bins, ID badges for entry and most importantly, if there is a preferred list of licensed companies like plumber, electrician and air conditioning technicians.

The first thing on my list is to replace one of the toilets and I cannot risk an unlicensed handyman to do the work, especially since I'm on the 2nd floor!

They haven't replied about the welcome wagon request. Perhaps one doesn't exist. logically speaking with 300-400 residents in this community, they've got to have some orientation - start package I can review BEFORE I arrive. I know 40' long furniture moving trailers are banned entry and the small amount of things I'm moving can be done in a standard van.
Yeah... moving furniture, I'm not looking forward to that part!

Yeah, that's a more recent addition by the insurance industry in Florida due to the increased wind velocity of hurricanes in that area due to global warming. They want to know the probability of damage to the unit due to high winds. That inspection is not cheap and you'll have to pay it to avoid higher insurance rates.
Shop around and ask how much they charge for that inspection.

Good luck with the move. I hope nothing important breaks.
Good luck with the move Chat and the insurance. Nothing will withstand a category five though, you know that.

It's wonderful after the move is done and everything is put away. I put everything away when I move and have rearraged it to my liking two or three times now. I'm finally there. I LOVE IT .
