I would not say it is a deal breaker but I would speak with the city/county as well as septic contractors to get an idea of the cost (in dollars and time) and use these items to negotiate/renegotiate with the seller.  

You might want to speak with the owner of the house next door and let them know you'd like to buy it.

If it is that good of a deal, I would go down to the county office and speak with them to learn the process and the timing it takes to get a permit. 

They lady I was speaking to grew very defensive and told me that they had emailed to me confirmation for this web-site.

has anyone had positive/negative results in dealing with a company called 212 Loans?

Can you speak on how you source granite slabs cost effectively?

The pitfall potentials are many, and most speak back to neglect in process.

I don't know the NC market, but can just speak to the Phoenix area. 

If you just hire the cheapest or first PMC you speak with and it turns into a bad experience, please don’t assume ALL PMC’s are bad and start trashing PMC’s in general.

Make sure you budget for the negative year.
