I've run into problems with septic systems with these old homes that used clay tile.Like Kelly said though if they are on the historic register then you it will be expensive to make repairs.

I had about four hours of dozer work done to create two level pads and a common driveway which cost $400.Driveway and parking  As I said above I had the dozer smooth a driveway and also had him bring four dump truck loads of roadbase (gravel and clay mixture). 

Rob, my @ sign thingy does not work on my tablet but Jay Hinrichs has many years of experience if you can @ thingy him.

In some instances, they excavated down to clay and poured footers, and under the mere 2 feet of clay...

My brother and I @Clay Manship co-own 6 units and have an additional 15 under contract as we speak.

Clay: So basically, you make offer and get property under contract prior to borrowing.....or are you "prequalified" due to your existing rapport/relationship with your lender(s)?

wow @Clay Smith!
