Potential foundation issue
Hi all,
I am looking into purchasing a home in my area that includes a mother in law suite. Because of this in-law it provides a great cash flowing property that you don't see much around. This is a flipped property and the agent is the flipper. When we walked through the home we noticed the laminate flooring is slightly unlevel in certain places, my only thought is that it could be a foundation problem causing it.
I'm just looking for how others proceed in these types of situations, I am still very interested in this property and not scared of the foundation issue at least not before getting a quote to estimate the repairs (if this is even the problem). I know sometimes flippers try to focus on cosmetics and not the bones of the house at times so what do you look for if you are going to purchase a home that has been flipped? It was built in 1917 and was done nicely I'm just not sure if corners were cut and that is hard to get down to until the inspection.
Thanks in advanced for all your responses,
