Hello BP Community,

My partner and I each own or own home, have one buy and hold under our belt, and have been studying the BRRRR methodology, which is how we plan to scale.

We're interested in a duplex (built in 1915 - not an uncommon age for our market) that needs a pretty solid overhaul. The one area of concern are some major cracks on both the interior and exterior/front step. As a next step we would walk the property with a foundations expert, but, who better to get some opinions from then the excellent BP community!

Can these interior cracks be fixed with some drywall compound, a fine-grit sanding sponge, and some sweat equity, OR are these a symptom of larger structural issues?

It would be great to hear from some structural engineers/foundation experts or those that have dealt with similar issues. THANK YOU!!
