Did you know that there are a lot of houses in San Bernardino County that have their own septic tank? I had no idea until I heard of a fellow investor that purchased, rehabbed, and tried to sell a property in Rialto at a nice little profit. However the appraiser mentioned there was a septic tank on the property and it must be inspected. SURPRISE, SURPRISE.

Unfortunately the septic inspection failed and this investor now has to face a big expense that will have a devasting affect on the bottom line.


Even with the best real estate investment training and coaches, we can’t predict everything that can happen with a property. As new investors, it may be well worth the little extra money to spring for a home inspection – even when the bank refuses to allow you that time.


Have you seen this book yet?
I finished reading The Real Book of Real Estate: Real Experts. Real Stories. Real Life. by Robert T. Kiyosaki and totally enjoyed hearing real estate investors discuss their experiences and their expertise. I highly recommend adding this to your collection.
