Tree in front of a house

[Duc-Dung Pham]

Hi all,

I am trying to buy a duplex that could be a good deal for me. The cashflow meets my expectation and the property is located in a low crime, populated area. The only concern for me is a big tree in front of the house (See picture below). 

Do you think that tree is too close to the house? Has anyone experienced tree root damaging foundation/sewer pipes?
