What questions should I ask about a septic tank?
The seller likes our offer, and I am going to take a look at the property tomorrow morning. It's four units (a duplex and two SFRs) in an unincorporated area. There are two septic tanks on the property, one of which has FHA certification and the other doesn't. The seller has agreed to pay for a new septic tank that will meet FHA certification. What are the questions I should be asking?

you should have an inspector look at them, or at least a septic service, be there when he's there and ask him/her that very question.
