In this brief monologue, Jake Burhans introduces a critical, last‑minute “bonus question” for evaluating a property: whether it is served by municipal water and sewer or relies on a private well and septic system. He explains that private utilities typically require separate inspections for the well and septic tank, creating additional opportunities for issues to surface. Consequently, properties connected to town water and sewer are presented as the more desirable, lower‑risk option.

Number 6, the bonus question which I thought of last minute but is vital in the whole process, is, is the property on town water and septic? Because if the property has its own septic and own well, it brings in a whole host of potential problems because typically we're going to need to get an inspection on both the septic and well, and obviously that's more opportunity for something to go wrong. So anytime we can come across something that's on town water and town sewer, we're in great shape.
