Any Horror Stories about Sloping Floors?

Hi all. I've been searching for a rental property in Akron, Ohio and I found a short sale that looks like a good BRRRR. The main issue? The floors are noticeably sloping on the main floor and the walls are cracked all over the place. There is a report from a structural engineer stating the house is sound, but it's an old house on a hill and has settled significantly.

There is evidence they tried to fix it at some point- steel beams and footers in the basement and a newer wall along one side of the basement.

I've made an offer and got a counter from the bank. I'm getting a quote to jack up the main floor before responding, but I'm wondering if this is something I should just steer clear of? 

Thanks for any help, BP!
