For the issue itself, the crack isn't necessarily my biggest concern, but the displacement of the foundation is what worries me.

My main concern about actual house hacking for a few years in a row is that we don't want the kiddos to have to change schools once we relocate up there.I'm thinking about getting an appreciation-oriented duplex/triplex in a pricier market with good schools that we could stay in for several years, and saving for an actual cashflow property that'd we buy as an investment property instead of a house hack.

Our bigger concern is how might we get our money from the guy?
