Hey guys,
So i'm looking at buying my first home. I found a house that I LOVE, but it has definite foundation issues. There is some definite separation of the brick near one corner of the house, and the back staircase is leaning 4" to one side over the 5' width. There's also a big crack in the middle of the garage slab and the garage itself looks like its starting to separate from the house.
I know it sounds like a real headache, but here's the thing. The house is in foreclosure and is priced about 100-120k less than comparable houses in the same neighborhood. I'm not in a rush to move in so i could stay in my current place until all the repairs are done. Could these issues really cost 100k to fix????
any feedback would be appreciated! Also, if i'm really going to move on this, i need to move FAST!
