Properties with Septic Tanks

Marc Shin
Posted

I'm looking at properties in Florida for STR's. The area I'm looking, most of the homes have septic tanks. Should I stay away from houses with Septic tanks? Is it a big risk to buy a home with a septic tank?

I have multiple properties with septic tanks. No problems with any of them.
