Ok so I’m new to reddit but I don’t really know where else to ask. To set the stage my grandfather had passed about a year ago and left my grandmother all alone in Tennessee. My dad moved from California to Tennessee to help his mother move out and take care of her in her elderly years. Not important to the story but my dad does stained glass repair and fabrication, and apparently there’s not a big market for it in the south, so he’s not making a lot.
Come to find out that my grandfather wasn’t the best financially, and had left my grandmother with a triple mortgage on the house. Upon further inspection from my dad, it seems as though half of the house has no foundation under it. The half of the house without foundation has only a few cinder blocks resting on the dirt to support the house. The dirt that the house is resting appears to have some sort of sinkhole under it or something because There are huge cracks that go down further than we can reach.
The house was built in 1975 and I’m pretty sure there where no house regulations back then (or at least not as strict). My dad is trying to sell the house but is scared it’s gonna cost a fortune and end up having to pay more than the house is worth. I don’t know what to do and neither does my dad, if anyone has any advice or has dealt with this before please help.
