Septic Or Sewer New construction

[Kishor Y.]

Hello BP,

I have never done a ground up construction before but I am curious about ground up constructions in Snohomish county, WA

Couple of properties that I am checking have septic only and don't have Sewer.

(1) How does Sewer vs Septic look from resale point of view

(2) How does Sewer vs Septic look from buy and hold

(3) Any other gotcahs

I'm building two new construction SFH for rentals. Sewer line is 100' away but will cost $350 a foot to extend. Cannot afford that. Septic will cost $7K for each house. I'll need to be very clear with tenants regarding care of the septic system. Regarding resale, as long as the system was permitted appropriately and passes inspection, it is not a big issue.
