Opinion on a potential central Florida issue

[Michael Bacile]

Hey BP,

I’m looking to put an offer in on a house within the next couple days. This house is a foreclosure in Central Florida being sold as is and has a well water system. While looking around the property a neighbor felt it necessary to disclose that the well wasn’t functional “in major ways”. I entertained the conversation just to get as much info as I could out of it. My common sense was telling me that he was trying to keep us away from the property. This house is less than 1 mile from a major river system and spring head. I find it hard to believe the well would be dry. How would y’all handle the situation? 10k for a new well would break the deal for me so I’m a bit cautious.
