first post here, so forgive me if this is a rookie question, i'm learning as i go!
i'm looking for my 1st home, and found one that is absolutely PERFECT for what i want, but it might need to be re-leveled.
what should i look for as far as the condition of the foundation?
the driveway is buckled very badly and the concrete walkway leading up to the front door has recently been replaced so i'm assuming there is/was some sort of drainage issue. how much if any has it affected the house i'm not sure. the house was built in '55 on whatever soil we have here in dallas, tx. i am going to look at it up close with a realtor in the morning, i didn't want to snoop around with the owners present. the house itself is way undervalue for the area although i know it needs a ton of work.
any advise would be greatly appreciated.
