[Jeff Pierce]

Hello, my name is Jeff! I'm about to buy my first property. It's a 3 bed/2 bath, 1,500sqft. I'm getting the house for about half the market value. The owner just wants out from under it. Older home, needs work. Built in late 50's/early 60's. Currently updating the plumbing in kitchen & bath. Nervous about the foundation. Have not done a home inspection yet. There's brick separation on the outside and noticeable settling issues in all rooms. How much should I be willing to spend on pier and beam installation? I've heard it can be very expensive.
