First off, I’m in my late 20’s pondering a move from the bay area CA. Don’t judge, I am not coming with a wad of cash. I am tired of cost of living and CA crime and policies.

I work for a real estate firm HQ’d in Dallas and plan on renting in the Plano/Frisco area to start but may want to buy a home in the future. The main thing that scares me from this area is what I see about foundations cracking.

I have a buddy who lives out in Gun Barrel City and says to make sure foundation is “pier and beam” or “post and beam” instead of concrete slabs. Are most new homes built with this recommended foundations able to withstand this issue for long periods of time?
