[quote=ocrenter]I have to assume they got the slab crack properly evaluated and was probably determined to be more of a slab canyon. hence the steep discount. afterall, as a rule banks are spending the few thousands to fix up foreclosures, if it was a simple crack they would have taken care of it, no?[/quote]
Probably not. If they fix it they have an implied warranty for the work. Better to leave it as is and not be on the hook in the future.
