We also tackle a surprisingly common (and stressful) situation: septic fields that may not even be on your property — with no mention in the deed and no plot plan to be found. 🧭 From satellite imagery and land contours to pipe clues, sensors, and plumbers, we break down how professionals try to locate septic systems when official records are missing or useless. Spoiler alert: Access PEI doesn’t always save the day. 💥 Septic testing continues to be a major issue across PEI, and buyers need to know where the landmines are. Mapping accuracy is another trap buyers fall into. 📐 Just because it looks right online doesn’t mean it is. Ortho photos can lie, measurements can be off, and deeds don’t always tell the full story. We explain why manually verifying lot size still matters — a lot. Fraud is everywhere right now — from REALTOR.CA inquiries to straight-up credit card fraud. 🚨 We get blunt about protecting yourself: two-factor authentication, password managers, credit alerts, Equifax monitoring, and why you should never click a meeting link from someone who “doesn’t have a phone.” Ever. Good news still exists, though. 🏡 Yes, you can still buy a livable home in the $200,000–$260,000 range within 20 minutes of town — and on more than an acre. We explain where, how, and what expectations buyers should have. We also cover EV chargers and heat pumps ⚡🔥, why electrical panel upgrades are often unavoidable, erosion barrier studies, buffer zones, HOAs, developers owning shorel…","meta_description":"What really happens when a real estate deal goes sideways — and who actually gets the deposit? 🤔 In this episode, we dig into one of the most misunderstoo…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":2926,"processing_state":"processed","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-michael-and-patty-real-estate-show-6692071/episodes/when-deals-blow-up-septic-surprises-fraud-warnings-real-pei-housing-truths/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-michael-and-patty-real-estate-show-6692071/when-deals-blow-up-septic-surprises-fraud-warnings-real-pei-housing-truths.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
