I've recently come to the conclusion that mold is the one of the biggest hustles in the inspection/home reno business b/c I see "mold remediation experts" charging tens of thousands of dollars to remove "mold" that isn't harmful to 97% of the population...but I realize that is an unpopular view.Anyways, about to close on a house that has a musty smell to the basement and likely some mold down there, so I'd be curious how you treat your properties with that issue - after buying them for a steal ;)

If a criminal does that, or worse harms the future tenant or kills them, can you imagine the field day an attorney would have with that once they found out how they got in the property!

Steam cleaning the carpet does not generate enough moisture for long enough duration to cause any lasting harm to the flooring underneath.  

HOA have toabide the law and rules as well as homeowners, landlords and tenants.HOA have to address complaints made by other homeowners who aresuffering from your tenants repeated loud noise and repeated badbehavior of (odor – I assume is smoking cigarette and marijuana)that harm other residents.

What I hear so far does not comport with that notion, which is why I'd love to hear any counter argument with substance.

When renting by room, having long term leases is actually harmful and not your goal.

If you are not getting sufficient explanation or are second guessing the Realtor there should be no harm in interviewing others.Good luck and keep making offers.

No harm in asking a rent with the option to purchase.  

I guess I will run the numbers again with a worst case scenario.I'd say if you find a thread that's an oldie but a goodie, that there is usually little to no harm done to put a fresh post in there to revive it back to the top of the forums.Having said that, you do have to realize that dollar amounts might differ drastically with a large time having elapsed since the dollar amounts were originally posted.As to plumbing unable to hold air pressure, that could be attributed to a wide variety of things, from an open faucet to all copper being stripped from the plumbing.

It doesn't do any harm if undisturbed, but if it's in the ceiling and you go to remove it, it becomes a serious health hazard.
