Water & Sewer Questions
I have been reading and learning about real estate investment for the last couple of months on this site - Amazing information. I trying to identify properties that i would like to make offers on. I have been eyeing one property since December - bank owned - asking $93000. My questions centers around the fact that the home was built in 1986 and has a WELL and SEPTIC TANK. (I am assuming that at that time the location of the home was on the outskirts of the city limit (Charlotte) and did not have access to city services. However, currently there are multiple new subdivisions all around and city water and sewer are available. I think the home is much more marketable with city services and frankly I dont think I would make an offer if I determine that the coversion is not feasible for me. I am wondering if anyone has coverted a home like this to City services and what is the cost in doing it? Who should I be talking with - the city? Any insights on this issue will help.
