Maybe they had to cut through clay soil versus loam, or tunnel under a driveway???

I think Texas probably ranks up there because of wind and hail .. and really bad soils that wreck foundations..

If the property has a solid inspection and a healthy maintenance budget can be set aside, these older properties can be very profitable.

In some cases, anonymity is healthy, but this depends on your preference.

PS the foundation issues are caused by Yazoo clay.. in the newer homes the builder dig out a few feet and then rock up before foundation.. the old homes are just  laying on the existing soil ..

This was after the foundation was given the OK by 2 separate inspectors and occurred due to lack of support under the house, soft soil in Florida, and lack of gutters to disperse rain water from the foundation.

@Rajagopalarao Paidi  some areas of the country it is perfectly normal for foundation issues given the soil types and building techniques of the time.

The soil or the hard surfaces should slope away from the building to a distance of at least six feet, to keep moisture away from the footings.

It’s important to balance cash-out refinance with maintaining healthy cash flow from rent.Mismanaging the Rehab Process:Delays in the rehab phase can eat into your profits.

I'm in a space to do some house hacking, and am under the general (unresearched, unless you count years of Zillow watching) opinion that my local rental market is healthy.
