First REO deal for duplex - questions ? Please help.

I am new to REO investing. My offer was accepted by the bank for a duplex of 2 units. It is valued at $210K by the city tax dept. My offer was 152K. It was listed for 170K. It needs 10K rehab work to make it perfect. I am closing the deal soon. Inspector found some mold in the attic plywood under the roof. It needs another $1500.00 to fix the mold. Two units can be rented for $725 each.

Questions to REO experts and Gurus
-----------------------------------------------------
1.How is this REO transaction ? Will it make some cash flow in this price ? I am planning to hold it and rent it.

2.Mold issue - Is it a big deal to fix? Should I be worried about it too much? Can I ask the bank to fix it ? it is a Fannie mae owned house.

3.Should i do a land Survey before closing?

any other suggestions ?
