Crack in Foundation, Quitclaim deed.

Mike Berube
Posted

Hey everyone, 

  I'm looking at putting in an offer on a triplex, listed just under 100k. Currently fully occupied and confirmed rents of 2k/month total..owner paying water/sewer/heat, tenants paying electric. Units are pretty well kept and updated, outside looks fine w/ minor paint chipping.

My two concerns are: 

1. It's a quitclaim deed, property inherited from deceased prior owner.

2. Property disclosure says there's a crack in the foundation.

I think i'm going to put in an 85k offer contingent upon inspection....home inspector should be able to verify the severity of the foundation crack right and I can pull out if its too severe.

Looking for some input on my concerns and whether or not I should go forward with this?

@Reinaldo Lopez thanks Reinaldo, they counter offered at 90k. My realtor ran a cma and the property came in right at 85k. So I'm holding firm at 85k, and retracted my origin request that they pay half my closing costs. Waiting to hear back!
