Some friend has been telling me foundation issue is common in Houston area because it is building on active soil, and the extreme weather might cause foundation issues here and there.

Be careful with the foundations, the soil is sandier so it's common for shifting to occur which will affect the plumbing.

Is the soil to sandy or swampy to build on? 

Just keep screening those tenants @Sandy G. it will pay off. 

Virtually all basements are going to have water concerns, whether from high water table, moisture attempting to move from soil to concrete/concrete block to air, actual infiltration from walls, etc.

@Sandy G., I think the post should have been titled "LANDLORDS say the darnest things"!
