Structural damage — settling, sinkholes, foundation failure, leaning walls — falls within our as-is purchase scope. We've bought Luzerne County homes that needed full demolition. The price reflects the structural reality, but we close. Traditional buyers won't touch structural issues; that's why these properties sit unsold for years before sellers find us.
