U need to talk to a local that does septic systems  just like a good well driller they will know the areas generally that are a problem..

If you are going to pay for mentorship, find an experienced operator in your market or better yet, offer to invest in the experienced operators projects and get an inside look at their process and systems.

Many of my customers who are traveling nurses buy condos or townhomes in Florida as vacation homes, then rent them out when they're not in town.This system has proven to be very lucrative, as it allows them to service the mortgage debt and generate a good cash flow.

Also, check if there are incentives or rebates for upgrading to more energy-efficient systems in your area.
