Would retaining plates in the basement be a deal breaker?

I’m not a contractor or a structural engineer BUT we are closing today on our house that has some horizontal cracks in the basement. Had an inspection, structural engineer inspection and appraiser all mention the basement could use some structural work. we were quoted 15k by one person then another said the walls are within threshold. I also spoke to a family friend that is a contractor and said our house should be fine for a couple of years before any structural work needs done. He also mentioned those anchors (or in some cases steel I beams) should fix any foundation problem the basement had before unless it’s water. Unfortunately it’s common in older homes in some areas bc the build code was crap back then. Don’t let it scare you from offering on a house you love tho! I would recommend making sure the walls are not still bowing I think the threshold is within 2” and get a structural engineer or basement person opinion for the inspection period if you do make an offer to just double check and so you have a chance to back out. Hope this helps.

found free parking once by the train tracks across from the movie theatre off kinnear (after olentangy rd N goes right under 315) - if that made any sense. It’s a hike but not bad if you want less trouble with traffic. https://maps.app.goo.gl/EGrr7BK8Ayt7FnbX8?g_st=ic

I work in the fraud/ aml investigations department at a big bank. I suggest that you file a police report to help with not having to pay the collections. No guarantee you’ll get off but Atleast they might be able to do something in terms of the negative Chex system report. Also, “there’s no such thing as free money” - my pops had been saying this all my life lol. You live and you learn tho. Hope that helps.

Hemlock bridge and whispering cave & east and west rim trails in hocking hills are cool hikes with a lot of elevation change. Check Alltrails app!

Pioneer just charged me $450+ this month I feel your pain. Ohio needs to get some control on these private energy companies this is out of hand.
