Is foundation issue as intimidating as I’m assuming?
Hey y’all, just had a inspection done today on a house I’m under contract with. House is a 2005 located in central Texas. One of the reports was foundation. He wasn’t able to pin point the severity but suggested to get a engineer out and inspect the foundation to pin point the issue, if it’s severe. My question is; is it rare for the seller to fix something as big as a foundation issue before closing? That’s what I’d prefer instead of seller dropping sales price and then me having to pay out pocket and also just deal with the hassle. Keep in mind, this house is not a flip or a huge investment property. Was going to buy for myself and settle down. So any experiences y’all have had good or bad I’d like to hear. Or maybe another way around it
