should we even consider this?

Son bought a house in pueblo last year. We bought one down the block from him last month. In between us is a house with 2 extra houses on it at a fantastic price. The 2 smaller houses look okay, though of course we would need an inspection. But the main house [which is the only one that is zoned...no idea what that means- has quite a few cracks that even the realtor said might indicate foundation damage. I do not want to purchase a home with severe foundation damage. Is an inspection going downstairs a better indication of foundation damage than what is apparent from the outside? Also, if there is foundation problem and it is minimal, would it be expensive to correct. Also, if the 2 extra homes are not zoned does that mean we would have difficulty getting them insured?
