Helical Piers. Good or Bad for Investment Properties?

Helical Piers. Good or Bad for Investment Properties?

Member since 2024 · 8 posts · 1 vote

Hello, I recently located a new construction property that was built using helical piers from the start. I was told it was done just for preventative maintenance early on as the area had had some settling issues in the past with other properties. The property is in a good area and potentially a good deal, however, the piers are the question. Would the piers alone be a turn off to investors when thinking about the long term ie. renters, or selling the property. Thanks.

    That property is literally screwed.

    The real answer to your questions is it depends on what is common and accepted in that area. I have purchase properties in Texas with foundation problems that would make people run in fear in other parts of the country.  But there, it is a common problem and people are used to fixing them.
