House With Foundation Issues

[Justin Bowman]

Hi Everyone,

My wife and I live in Texas in the DFW area.

We are looking at purchasing our first home that we plan on turning into a rental property eventually.

The house has had foundation repairs a couple years ago, done by a reputable company with unlimited lifetime transferable warranties.

From my understanding it is not uncommon in Texas to have foundation repairs due to the rough, dry soil that can shift (would love perspective from any DFW investors).

This is our first house and we are so stressed to make the right decision because it’s a new process and we don’t want to buy a bad house and set ourselves back years.

How concerned should we be with these issues? Is it okay to buy a house that has had foundation repair? Any things to look out for?

Thank you,
