Mold in basement - what would you do??
I BP! I'm actively looking to buy my first rental and found an off market deal I would like some advice on. The basement of this property has wood paneling covering the foundation and there is very evident signs of moisture and mold. I contacted a company that does foundation repair to see if they could go walk the property with me, but I'm afraid if I wait for them (1.5-2 weeks) the property might be gone. I am waiting for the wholesaler to get back with me as to when I can do a walkthrough. This property is in Indiana. I'm fairly sure this is a foundation issue causing the water/mold. The numbers seem to work (providing I calculated them right...just over 10% COC and cash flows over $230/mo.) See pictures below.....
What would you do? Thoughts and advice??
