1st income property
I'm in the process of purchasing a triplex, and had a friend look at it for me,due to me being out of state, and was inspected while I was out of state, neither noticed a leaning wall. I did my initial walk through and noticed a concrete (poured or block, not sure w/o disecting further) wall in one of the lower units .that leans out at the top considerably,(4-6inches) , structural engineer says its structurally safe and the wall is out of plumb. I like the property it's a decent triplex and would cash flow upon closing , I'm nervous about this leaning wall, anyone have experience with this! Is it a disaster, or just an eyesore that can be made plumb , with a furred wall??
