Property Under Contract in Chicago - Foundation Issues
My business partner and I have a property under contract in the 60647 zip code in Chicago. We just completed the inspection and realized the building is leaning pretty significantly. We couldn't get in the crawl space because the current owner glued the hatch shut. The land value of the property seems to be around $320K - $350K from what I'm seeing in comps.
A little background on the property:
2 Flat originally built in 1898
Purchase Price - $320,000
Lot Size - 2178sqft
My question - Has anyone dealt with fixing foundations before, and if so, is it worth it? Anyone familiar with this area who might want to partner on this deal?
