Large oak tree under foundation - to buy or not to buy?

Agreed,Should have been removed during rehab process but sometimes it can be missed.Rehabbed hundreds and many times the crews miss stuff so not completely on the seller.I always tell our investors to have common sense when doing a building inspection.Anything that can affect the long term sustainability of the property like foundation, roof, mechanics, HWH, furnace, electrical, plumbing is on us.Any cosmetic stuff that won't really affect rent or cashflow is up to negotiation.If investor is adamant on being fixed, we will fix but at a cost.There is no such thing as perfection on 50-100 year old homes.The demographic in my area also doesn't require perfection.If they do, we don't rent to such folks and advise the suburbs which come at a 3x monthly rent compared to the city.The tree should be removed by the seller and foundation addressed.Doesn't look too major to me anyway.Thanks
