We purchased this house via short sale. The easiest way to describe such a transaction is with the phrase "no negotiating." The property was sold for less than its market value (the only way we could afford it and the area) in order to get it off the bank's books and prevent it from going to Sherif's sale (which the bank actually tried to do after accepting our offer!?). The bank wouldn't take any less than the amount owed them on the loan, which meant if we came up with that we could purchase the place "as is." Why mention this? Well, its why we purchased a place with a non functional septic system. Above is a shot of the hole the previous owner dug to find the drainage T which feeds the drain field. In doing the digging the pipe was torn in three spots. The shot shows the hole refilled by sediment washed in by rain.
