Septic Tanks in Rialto?

Did you know that there are a lot of houses in San Bernardino County that have their own septic tank? I had no idea until I heard of a fellow investor that purchased, rehabbed, and tried to sell a property in Rialto at a nice little profit. However the appraiser mentioned there was a septic tank on the property and it must be inspected. SURPRISE, SURPRISE.

Unfortunately the septic inspection failed and this investor now has to face a big expense that will have a devasting affect on the bottom line.

Even with the best real estate investment training and coaches, we can't predict everything that can happen with a property. As new investors, it may be well worth the little extra money to spring for a home inspection - even when the bank refuses to allow you that time.
