My experience with REO properties is that they do everything they can to tilt the deal in their favor.  

., but it may not be worth dumping a lot of money into remodeling a house with foundation issues if it's still going to be noticeably tilted when everything is done. 

I think once we start having professionals come through and look at the house (as well as us looking into the legalities) the scale will start to tilt more one way or the other.

The house I’m about to close on is TILTED!

When people emphasize money at the expense of other things a lot of things get off-tilt

Not simply in terms of negotiations (because a cash buyer looks at the value of the property, while a finance buyer looks at the $Down and $Monthly and right now those are SERIOUSLY on tilt), but also in terms of Currency Risk.Regardless of what we personally think is going to happen as a result of rampant "money printing" and helicopter money economics, the thing we need to understand is that Real Estate > Cash because real estate buoys with the economy it is in (for better or worse), but Leveraged Real Estate >> Cash because you minimize your cash in an investment and use fixed-rate dirt-cheap interest rates to functionally hedge your bets against inflation. 

Tip it, shake it, tilt it, play with the key at the same time and it’ll give.

On the larger buildings that consist of tilt-up walls, bar joists and decking, almost all bar-joist manufacturing companies can't deliver any materials until 2nd quarter of next year if you ordered this week.

I own a 41,000 sf tilt wall two building industrial property with 26 tenants.

Nobody is going to want to pay tax on that so I suspect that this will tilt the scales from appreciation to cash flow for some investors.
