Seeking Advice on Foundation Repair Costs and Financing in Cincinnati Area

[Seth Baumgartner]

Hello BiggerPockets Community, I hope everyone is doing well. I'm Seth, a real estate investor focusing on building a vast portfolio. Currently, I'm dealing with significant foundation issues in one of my Ohio properties. The house lacks a full foundation all around and also has a partial crawlspace. To top it off, the front of the house is sloping by about a foot. I've received an initial estimate for the repairs, but it's quite hefty. Before moving forward, I'm interested in hearing from anyone who has dealt with similar issues: What were the approximate costs you encountered for foundation repairs? Any reputable contractors you could recommend in Ohio? Strategies for financing costly repairs while still keeping an eye on property acquisitions? If you've done foundation work, what hidden costs or challenges did you encounter that weren't obvious initially? Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Best, Seth Christian Baumgartner
