We can get catastrophic sink hole insurance but we cannot get gradual sink hole insurance.

Should i turn tail and run now?
If it were me, I would. Why start out with a new home that already has a known issue. I would think that it would also affect the resale value given that the disclosure
will always be part of any sale of the home.
