Septic tank ???

[Bryson Williams]

Recently came across a property for a great price. Only one thing, it sits on a septic tank. Ive heard many horror stories about these things being disastrous. Should I proceed with the deal or just chalk it up as a loss? Thanks!

Educate yourself. There's nothing "disastrous" about a septic tank. They are very common, they have been around forever, they will continue to be around forever. I currently manage dozens of homes with septics and have bought/sold dozens more. They are only "disastrous" when people use them improperly, which can also happen with a city sewer system.
