Is that a CA specific thing or in general? I see well and septic in some of the Seattle suburbs. I know a well can go dry in CA which can be crazy expensive to re-drill. I wouldn’t worry about the well going dry in Seattle.
Palomar park and parts of Woodside have no sewers.
Can be a big problem. Eventually sewers will be required at a major expense. Worse case …a neighbors septic system uphill can fail and leak sewer water into your property.
2.5-2.7. The neighborhood can top 3M and >1000/sf on a spec project. Some things are off here though. Shared driveway. White picket fence on a modern build. And so on.
Marginal…No $3m houses there…One of the best deals I ever did was on Hull…bought and sold a 20000sf lot with a three lot tentative map…Double escrowed it …Made $100k with no investment…Infinite return…
Some escrow officers seem to do it, but you cannot do it with eventual buyers fund. You moght need transactional lender (hard money loan, pretty much).
Too many rules today…I feel sorry for this generation…Smothered by rules…The rich get richer and the poor are left out the more rules there are…Not too many realtors will allow “and assigns” contracts…
