What does "The property needs structural support from underneath" mean?
Hi,
I am a new investor apparently negotiating my first deal. The property is in a good neighborhood of Worcester county, MA, and it's being sold as - is. However, in the description, It says "Property needs structural support from underneath, Replacement of tight tank is buyer's responsibility, and the sale of this property is subject to obtaining a License to Sell from the Worcester Probate and Family Court."
I haven't signed anything yet but right now I am some what skeptical because of these statements in the description which I had not paid a lot of attention to due the property's location.
"Property needs structural support from underneath", and "the sale of this property is subject to obtaining a License to Sell from the Worcester Probate and Family Court."
Please advise on how to best proceed in a situation like this. Very much counting on your experience.
Thanks!

if you are first time investor, just run away.
This is similar like someone buying used car after a total damage.
If you have experience with huge reserves, then it's possible to chase this opps.
