septic problems in new rental house.

[Joel F.]

so I just bought my second rental property  it was a Fannie Mae   we are waiting to get the water turned on and hear from the neighbor that the previous owners left because the septic tank or other water was backing up in the yard. We were told that it would be about 2 grand to dig up and evaluate the system. He wouldn't even quote one hoe much a new tank would be but said it was very unlikely it would be needed.  The neighbor also said the former owners were only showe ring every other day and had to monitor water use.   Does anyone have any prior experience or advice for this situation.
