another thing to think about for building. Pick a lot that has town sewer and nat gas available. Yah, you'll have a sewer bill over the years but it will never = two septic systems over 40 years

That is good advice but I disagree about the septic system. We have been in our house 40 years. Same septic system we had put in, in 1974.
we had the tank pumped 5 times in 40 years.

I go 2 years max between pumps.
5 times in 40 years is asking for trouble !
My town is 100% septic systems.
nothing wrong with septic systems if you take care of them, assuming you have good gravel and not swamp soil.
