Mold and water damage in the basement/soil contamination inNJ

[Marta K.]

Hello real estate community. I came across a good deal in Garfield NJ, built in 1910, the price is very promising, short sale, cash buyers only. Listing disclosed mold and water damage in the basement and soil contamination. Is it something worth pursuing for a newbie real estate investor in your opinion? The most concern I have is regarding soil contamination. I assume that soil needs to be replaced? Thank you for your time and sharing your knowledge.
