Making offers on properties with septic tanks
Do you pay for a septic inspection? (I've been told a good septic inspection is around $300). Also how do you handle this if a wholesaler is marketing the property, and there is a non-refundable deposit and no inspection period?
Since a septic problem may be hidden, and the repair expensive, is it better just to avoid these properties altogether?

Most wholesale deals I come across tend to be inflated garbage.
The wholesaler is trying dump a so called deal to make their fee.
