Foundation work

Ive found a house that Im interested in buying, however its priced inexpensively because it needs foundation work (thus the title of my discussion). Ive called around everywhere that I know of and cant find any foundation specific professionals in my area to get an estimate. Ive found an individual that has worked in home repair that says he can do it, but it hasnt been easy getting a price on it.

As far as the work itself, the house is built on the side of a hill and 1 corner has started pulling away.

This looks like a house no one wants, which means there should be an opportunity there, but I dont know crap about foundation work.

Thoughts?

If you walked away from every house with foundation issues in certain areas around Dallas,,you would never do anything,,,foundations really aren't scary,,now many I walk away from, but many are easily repaired.
