I almost thought you were going to write:"Environmental citations actually say the due date is 5 days before the citation was issued!!!!! 

If they don't like it they can move or require more of themselves to land a better paying job to get more of the things they want in life AND pay the rent.For anyone reading this if you are going to have the "conscious and bleeding heart syndrome" you DO NOT need to be a landlord as you will cause more damage to your finances and investments then you could ever imagine.

IMHO it really needs to be consciously meshed into your overall plan.

Thats a serious issue and you should contact an environmental remediation company.

This way you are at least covered initially if the market is very price conscious or amenities conscious.  

However, a bank would do a Phase 1 environmental in order to assure that physical integrity is up to standards and no surprises.

@Rohit JindalSorry for the delay.There are two risks you need to mitigate when buying specifically Septic.The first risk is just basic lifetime of the system etc, what your costs might be, that sort of thing.The second risk, and to my mind the more complicated one is the environmental risk.

You want to stay away from any use like gas stations, auto repair, dry cleaners, etc. that would require environmental remediation.

There's not a person on earth that wouldn't choose environmentally friendly, sustainable housing if the price is right.

You can have an environmental assessment done to determine if there is any contamination.
