Foundation issue with clients first deal

[Jonathan Bombaci]

My client is doing her first househack. It’s a solid 2 family  in Lowell MA but but during the home inspection we found some active knob and tube and this foundation issue. I’ve dealt with knob and tube before, we’re getting quotes to fix both of these but how concerned should we be about a foundation issue? I don’t think it looks too bad but obviously not great.. 

Thanks in advance for any reply’s.

By your post you found a "foundation issue" but you "don't think" ..... 

Don't put yourself in the position of making a decision on something you are not qualified to make. Foundation problems should be evaluated by a licenced Structural Engineer/Specialist.  If it turns out to be nothing that's great , if it turns out to be major it saves you from liability.

It's always up to the Buyer to make the decision. Realtors should stick to Contracts, not inspections. Play it smart.
