Dude told me he had bad tenants and he wanted to hire us to takeover management and negotiate a cash for keys settlement with current tenants, then get him some new ones.

I did house hacking and still doing it and to start I hired a property manager to both learn from and to allow me to continue working full time until I was able to take over managing the property. 

Additionally, moisture in the basement with possible fungi growth could mean mold, which can affect air quality and require professional remediation.
