BP, Happy Hump Day to you all! Here’s a question for the brilliant BP community’s investors, contractors and experts: “What are the common signs that a property has issues with its foundation, and, when scoping out a potential property (likely a fixer upper) what are the tricks/techniques that you use to quickly spot-check/eyeball those issues?” Thank you in advance! Best, Sean

@Sean Snider look for cracks in the foundation, ground level ness to the house can signal shifting, bowing of basement walls, buckling siding.
