Today I’m coming to you from inside what we call a tear-down house. I want to show you what kind of foundation issues warrant tearing down a house.

In the video, you will see a wall that has cracked right down the center. The wall is also bulging out like you wouldn’t believe. Another spot in the basement has a foundation crack so deep that you can actually see through the wall to the outside! That is a major foundation issue.

You can even see that the foundation is broken from the outside. The brand-new roof and siding are not enough to distract potential investors from the obvious foundation problems.

This house is so damaged that my clients and I had to sign a special disclosure. This house needs to be torn down completely, so it is not something for an inexperienced investor to purchase.

As you can see, real estate is not always pretty. If you have any questions about tear-down houses or real estate in general, give me a call or send me an email. I would be happy to help you!
