Foundation Issues Advice

[Andrew McGuire]

Phoenix investors,

A lot of the good looking deals I come across either have known foundation issues or signs that point to that ex. lateral cracks internal/external, slight sag in roof, garage slab rising or sinking to driveway slab. Is there a way to have the issue diagnosed and bid on by foundation companies? I watched a few videos and one recommended having a 3rd party come out for $500-1000 and inspect before calling the companies to bid on. Any advice?

I had the same issue when purchased a property in Texas. What I did was bring some foundation companies and asked for an evaluation(Free). They gave me a written report with a diagram. Then I hired a structural engineer for an Independent evaluation. Then matched with the foundation companies report. The one came almost the same as the SE report I hired them because I knew they weren't lying. Some companies are right of the bat outrageously dishonest.
