The reason being is that they wouldn't allow escrow for repairs on a minor foundation repair according to the inspection report and the deal fell through.

You can enter everything you might need like initial purchase price and enter estimated repairs for pretty much every aspect of a house from new roof to foundation repairs and everything in between.

I found at least 100 places where that quote is used.

I purchased a house in Edmonton that has a horizontal crack the entire length of one wall as well as at least one vertical crack.The work has been repaired but the seller never disclosed that the crack was there until after I ripped down some of the drywall and exposed the cracks.There is an engineers report that says that the wall has been repaired and has been restored to "structural adequacy".They installed an interior shoring wall of pressure treated 2x6's with staggered pressure treated blocking that is tied to the floor as well as the joists.I purchased the house with the intention of adding a second story.I am wondering if it will support the second story or whether there is more that I should do before I start building.The original foundations in the area are such that they should support a 2.5 or 3 story house without issue.

Found a property that seems to be good but has foundation issues ..

We bought it for $27,000 9/25/13 and put $10,800 in rehab which included stablizing the foundation with 9 beams and leveling the floors, refinishing hardwood floors, re-converting 2br to 3br., tub surround, kitchen/bath flooring, texture and paint int., new ceiling fans throughout.
