Cement slab?

We both work full time in amazing careers that we enjoy. 5 years ago we made the decision to start investing in long term rentals as a way to cement our future.

We see the occasional block foundation but I don't think I've ever seen an entire home made from cement block.I know one "feature" of block foundations around here is that building codes won't allow a 2nd story to be added to a single story with a block foundation.That could have something to do with what I see here as it's pretty hard to find a ranch. 

The tenants will be much harder on the building and they will do incredibly stupid stuff that will make you scratch your head .they will be like oversized children .if you understand the desperation and difficulty of thevarea and the people then you will succeed ,if you go in with a set strict criteria and try to be tommy toughnuts to the tenants then your going to have very high vacancy ( leaving in the middle of night) nd repair costs ( like pouring cement down the drains ) and you won’t see the good income everyone talks about . 

This would be my first home purchase that I would first house hack the basement apartment and eventually move out and rent out the entire house, just for some context.The foundation type is basement with cement blocks and we know for sure one of the basement walls is bowing.

Property Issues known, light external paint, cement front porch repair, going to be some interior work.

If the plan is to use leveling cement, and it needed a substantial amount of it, the added weight might cause it to get worse quickly without additional support.If you're good with renting it slightly below the average in your market and most of the rental homes are a similar vintage, I wouldn't mess with it.

the contract  said that 30 cement poles and and replace rotten beams. there is another report saying repairs were good.  

-Usually need more square-footage to repair- U&O is always going to be up your case and will wack you with even the smallest chip in the sidewalk, telling you that you need to drop 5-7k just in cement before you even get approved to touch your home. - Comping is not as cookie cutter as it is in the city, now you are usually dealing with different styles, build types, etc.Always feel free to reach out to me!

It also backed onto a huge stone crushing/cement plant so fine dust, 5am diesel truck start-up noise etc was common BUT the 'buyers' loved it.
