If they have entered the structure, then, the Termite guy can tell you how much damage and what to do...The pipes in a slab thing is everywhere in Florida because of the salt in the soil and galvanic action from making the water pipes the electrical ground etc.

If Joe applies on Monday and I'm still waiting for his proof of income, Sandy can provide me with a complete application on Wednesday and I will move her to the front of the line.

Quote from @Sandy Tan: i live in nyc and looking to buy my first rental property in Buffalo.

I studied and played college football in Erie, PA and just recently moved to ATL with my girlfriend after accepting a job offer here (currently renting in Sandy Springs).

These piers are driven under the leaning chimney until it reaches a good soil base.

Have the Suwanee, Grayson, Alpharetta, John’s Creek, Sandy Spring, Sugarloaf area of Lawrenceville areas in mind.

Now if the seller said that and I knew that he did not have peas or that peas do not grow in that garden or the soil was poisoned and he had built up an immunity to the Iocane powder that is running through the garden, then yes the liability would be there.

I am wondering if this is all result of normal settlement in older houses (built 1958, Kansas City soil is clay) or a bad repair project waiting to happen, I am an out of state investor and not trying to do any major renovations and will likely exit the deal if it seems to be a foundation issue that will require a couple thousand to resolve in the next 5-10 years or even sooner.

@Jordan Sand  I use Mr Landlord, and their service allows you to report it to credit bureaus once it's 30 days late.  

Thanks for the tip Sandy - Did you go white on the walls?
