<prompt> Human: Kind of confusing title right?I sent a letter of intent to a home owner who is currently in a legal battle with a state entity about the foundation of the property. The house at one point, almost 30 years ago had some construction built over it and due to the aftermath of the construction, part of the foundation has broken and washed away in the river. In other words, part of the foundation is slipping away.The problem is, its taken 30 years for the foundation to slip away, and currently, the homeowner wants to sell the property and have the foundation fixed by the individuals who screwed it up apparently. Now hes in a legal battle on who should fix it.My question is, the house is fine and so is the framework and its a great deal, but since the foundation needs to be fixed, is it worth pursuing if this guy loses his legal battle? I dont plan on living there permanantly and though about flipping the home or using it as a second home, but I dont want land issues later down the line.In short, the land is slipping away 30 years later and I dont want this headache later. The home owner was very upfront about it all so its take it as you see it kind of situation.Any advice on how to handle this?  <response>: Rule 1 of home buying is never buy a home with a faulty foundation.
