Question about Structural Issues and Related Contingencies

Account Closed
Posted

Hey all,

I trust all is well. I had my property manager view a home recently on my behalf, and she noted that the front door to the home cannot open; and that she had to body check the backdoor to enter the home. Additionally, the back door didn't look like it fully matched up with its frame. She believes that these door issues may be indicative of a more serious structural issue.
I assume getting a structural engineer out to assess the asset may be too pricey at this juncture (?), so I was wondering if anyone has had experience with putting an offer on a home that had (or may have had) structural issues? Any suggestions on what sort of contingencies I may include given these potential issues? Any recommendations on how to quickly dig into the root of this (potential structural issue) in order to estimate related repair costs (and quickly)???
I look forward to your responses!

Kindest regards,
Sheila
