New to DFW market

[Dallin Blank]

I am new to the DFW RE market. I am looking to invest in some properties in DFW but did not realize how many houses had foundations issues here due to the clay soils. 

Would love to connect with anyone that has a lot of experience with how to navigate these foundation issues and how you succesfully invest in DFW real estate depsite this issue

Foundation issues are common in DFW due to the clay soil, but many investors still profit by knowing how to assess and negotiate these properties. Look for warning signs like wall cracks, misaligned doors, or uneven floors, and always get an inspection from a structural engineer (not just a foundation repair company). If the repairs are manageable and you’re getting at least a 10-15% discount, it can be a great deal—but avoid properties with major structural failure or uncooperative sellers. Stick to areas with better soil conditions like Frisco, McKinney, and Rockwall, and network with local investors to learn from their experiences. If you need help, DM me, and I’ll point you in the right direction!

Good luck!
