Foundation Leaks/Cracks : Deal Maker or Deal Breaker?

So recently I have viewed several homes with foundation problems and I raise this question: are foundation leaks/cracks deal makers or deal breakers for your portfolio. If the property is a possible buy and hold, rents make sense and the purchase can be made at a significant discount? Here are 2 examples of a slab foundation leak and a Cinder block foundation crack.

We're not experienced enough yet, so we avoid foundation issues. I hope to reach a level where that's no longer a deal-breaker.
