I am new to the DFW RE market. I am looking to invest in some properties in DFW but did not realize how many houses had foundations issues here due to the clay soils. 

Would love to connect with anyone that has a lot of experience with how to navigate these foundation issues and how you succesfully invest in DFW real estate depsite this issue

Hi Dallin, you are right. Foundation is an issue in DFW but we are used to it. There are many companies that perform a good work. 

It is also something that pushes investors out not because the foundation but many of the underground problems that it could cause such plumbing.

So when you find a house with such issues you have to estimate for your worst scenario.

Happy to connect and guide you more.
