Do you avoid slab houses like the plague?
In our area, there is a high volume of undervalued slab homes on the market. After one bad experience in renovating one we have decided to avoid them in the future for the following reasons:
- Difficult to access plumbing and HVAC
- Difficult to wire electrical
- Prone to foundation issues
(Many in our area unfortunately have sustained foundation damage from an unusual earthquake we had here in VA about 5 years ago.)

we seek out the bad ones and jump for joy when we buy them.
The bigger the headache, the cheaper you buy.
