Septic issue with a VA loan

[Kayela Sartain]

We just bought a home in Mantachie using a VA loan. The home we bought is a 4 bed/ 3 bath, 2557 sq ft, on an acre. We just discovered that we have no septic tank and our sewage is running out on the neighbors property. How do i go about contacting someone to see if this legal? Im assuming here, but i would think that if this was inspected properly for a VA laon that this wouldnt pass the appraisal process. There is no way that we can afford to have a septic system put in. We havent even made our 1st mortgage payment yet. Please help!

 I think it is more likely your septic is there but it is clogged. Have you called a septic company to have the tank drained or drain field inspected? That will answer the question of whether you have a septic system or not. The seller knows if there was a problem before selling, I can guarantee it. ;-)   Then, if there is no septic or if it's faulty, I'd call the real estate agent you used and ask for the next step.
