Should I purchase a house with septic leach pit

[Jin Zhang]

Hi everyone, 

I am a new investor here. Recently, I have seen a house in Riverside California, which fits all my criteria other than the fact that it has a septic leach pit. I do not know much about a septic leach pit and recall heard people warning new investors to stay away from them. I would like to get advise from more experienced investors here. 

1) Should I stay away from it? The description said it is a newly replaced septic leach pit. 

2) If I decide to go ahead with it, what should I be careful about it?  What should I pay attention to? 

3) What would be the cost to fix it or replace it? 

4) What would be cost to hook it to the city sewage system? 

5) Anything I should know but have not asked yet? 

Thank you! Any insights or advise would be greatly appreciated! 

Best,

Jin
