Small Multifamily on Septic

[Kavin Kuykendall]

Hey BP,

We are looking at house hacking a large triplex in Panama City Fl that is currently on septic. Here are the details:

~4600SqFt

7 bed/ 6 bath

Built in 1957

The tank is raised and requires a lift station which was just replaced according to the listing agent.

My understanding is this was originally a massive house that was converted into 3 units. We are getting ready to make an offer but want to be sure we dot the i's and cross the t's before jumping into a headache. What specifically should I ask, do, check, verify, or have inspected before pulling the trigger? We plan on having an inspection done on the house and tank during our DD period.

Even at 3 units, there are additional units to be added if desired via a 3 car garage, extra rooms, etc. How would I verify how much this system can handle?

Thanks in advance!
