Putting an Addition on a House that has Septic and Well

[Aj Bowman]

Hi Everyone,

I have a house in Maryland that I am looking to flip. Right now it is a 1 level 2 bed 2 bath 880 sqft. house. I am thinking that this would be a hard sell after repairs for obvious reasons. So I was thinking, what if I put a 700 sqft addition on the house and add a bedroom? Now I would have a 1580 sqft. 3 bed 2 bath house which I believe will be a lot easier to sell. The problem I am running into is that this house is on well and septic. My first question, "is adding an addition onto a house a good idea?" and my second question, "will I run into problems with the septic and well?"

Thanks,

AJ
