Wet crawl space

[Stephanie G.]

The house that we are considering buying has a wet crawl space.  It was built in the 1950’s.  Ranch.  No structural damage from the wet crawl space.   Is this a wise investment?  Would it be hard to re-sell?

There were 2 sump pumps in the crawl space but one was not functioning.  It has been fixed.  

Thanks for any advice.

Hi, I have a triplex in Fort Lauderdale with a wet crawl space. I have owned it for 5 years. About 2-3 years ago the sump pump died and if I remember correctly it cost less than $1000 to replace it. The property cash flows great and I don't for sure if other investors would be worried about it but I can tell you, I am VERY happy I have this property.
