Mold Issue in my rental property
Hello:
I have been a bigger pockets member for 8 months, and have listened to the podcasts for about a year plus.
I have 16 properties in the Amarillo, TX area currently.
My question is about mold. One of my houses had a leak underneath the house. We fixed the leak, but we discovered some black mold.
My tenant used to sale to Blackmon Mooring, and he works for a local flooring company. He told me he would place a few fans under the house, and spray with bleach etc
He has experience with this type of issue.
Question: would you recommend this course of action, or should i call a blackmon mooring/ servepro company? I don't want the problem to spread and i don't want anyone to get sick.I want to make sure the mold is killed and doesn't spread.
Thanks!!

Agree that your tenant should not be allowed to do this repair. Ask a local Real Estate attorney if you need that advice validated by a professional.
Just hire a contractor, have it repaired properly and save all documentation so if you ever sell the property you have that information on hand to disclose to the buyer.
