I would shoot him a text and follow up with a letter through the mail to be 100% sure if I was concerned.

We walked through a property that we went into thinking we were not going to like it and we ended up loving it and jumping on it pretty quickly after because the seller was getting other cash offers and the price/location/set-up of the property just fit our situation well. 

But if I sold today I likely would lose atleast 10k.Would it be feasible to just relocate for the job and rent the house for the time being and see what happens?

Read some books, preferably those written prior to 2015 when YouTube gurus started telling everyone how easy it is to buy 17 houses a year with no money down.Investing is pretty simple if you just follow the process investors were using since the beginning of time.

Where can I get the form to file? 

I would also send the tenant information about food pantries etc in the area.

This doesn't predict anything, it's just a summary of what has taken place so far. 

A landlord looks a t how much the property will make long term.A flipper looks at how much in a short term .

If you just randomly find mold in a property, it's highly unlikely any insurance will cover that. 

First and foremost you are just reading a newspaper article.
