[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not buy it at any price.

I see 3 major flaws: 
House sitting on flood plane
Well water
Septic tank

See for yourself on Redfin.

I looked the property up on FEMAs map, it’s zone X, so nothing to worry about.

And septics and wells are just part of life when you live in the country.  It’s a stupid ass reason not to buy a house.[/quote]

Not really. It's a legitimate extra expense and inconvenience for sure. We were so happy to move and leave the well, septic, water softener, generator and oil behind. Even two of those factors (well and septic) can be too much.

And we moved not further back in, still "out" just within a city limit that offered services. Such a relief. Don't pretend to know people's stupid ass reasons for avoiding a house! That and the easement, maintenance of roads for this house are huge turnoffs.

So many misinformed takes on here about well and septic.  They add no additional costs (because you’re not paying a water utility - which more than makes up for electricity running a well pump and septic pump out) and the “inconvenience” is a once every 5 year visit from the septic pump out.

The “inconvenience” with a generator is that some models you have to run periodically to keep the battery charged.

The idea that these would determine your house buying is laughable.
