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.)
Bigger Pockets investors - What is your opinion / experiences with renovating and property managing slab houses? Good, bad, avoid like the plague?

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