I know in California we do.You can alway get a engineer soil survey.

@Sandy UhlmannThe lender who created the performing note would have already collected the evidence of insurance.  

@Sandy Uhlmann and @Pari ThiagasundaramIn our experience, Simplifile is the easiest to use and has the best customer service (and that really matters).

It's a worst case scenario.Quotes came back at:$650 for soil testing$850 for engineering and permits$5-7k for pretreatment system (required by law)$7-10k for leaching field$3-5k for the tankTotal $16.5k - $23,5kObviously, this level of a failure was not planned and was not covered in CapEx.Steps that were taken so far:2 quotes (recommended companies, he's in OH and doesn't know anyone else to call)Sold 1 car that was owned outright to raise fundsConsidering the sale of another car that has some equityDialing back (nearly ending) gifts for Christmas (5 kids plus 4 fosters YIKES)Exhausting his entire emergency fundSteps not taken that I advised him on:3rd party inspection that doesn't do work... not the person the contractor recommends who is probably getting a kick-back if this is really a BS deal.

Hey everyone, first post here and trying to decide before tomorrow at 9am whether or not to move forward on our first attempt at a real estate investment. We love the Salt Lake area and it seems like this is in a real...

If it was in Sandy or the surrounding area then we would be very interested but a house like that would probably be listed at $350k+ in the areas we are looking.

Two weeks later (LOI said we'd get a PSA in 5 days), the PSA we received is a generic cut/paste which is also severely lacking in terms and is quite literally missing all the exhibits/supplementary info such as engineering/soil tests, tenant/landlord lease, architectural map of the property, etc.

I’m looking for a realtor that can do some numbers on a home in Big Sandy??

Thanks @Sandy Hu .
