By Gary Coffing with Bestech Foundation
As a Real Estate Investor, you want a foundation to do two things:
(1) Support the structure above it.
(2) Keepyour feet out of the dirt.
Q.) How do we know if it is supporting the structure?
A.) Function! All doors and windows should be square in their openings, should work without dragging or sticking, and should latch and lock easily. Exterior joints around these openings should be uniform and caulk-able. Exterior/interior finishes such as brick or rock veneers and sheetrock should be free of cracks or patches covering old cracks. Floors should be fairly level and should not slope noticeably.
