I just wanted to get some insight on how common it is to request mold tests prior to purchasing a property and testing for mold with long term buy and holds in this climate.Thank you in advance! 

Note the law was in effect nothing because a jurisdiction could have allowed this prior to the new law and must op In with the new law.  

This may have been the case prior to online real estate platforms, but today buyer's see properties as soon as they hit the market and do not rely upon agents to make the buyer aware of a property that fits their requirements.

I agree with @Michael Plaks that the pricing should be discussed prior to the start of the engagement.My firm does not like the hourly invoice method because I find it can potentially cause anxiety to clients who may not know the final price.if you were a nice client and paid an hourly fee, maybe there was a lot of time towards 'setting' you up as a client(inputting your properties, prior year carryforwards, depreciation schedule, etc) which won't be a cost for you going forward.Best of luck.

It's also not rented yet so there is no income to DSCR, the tenant would need to be in place or at least moving in prior to closing.That doesn't mean you couldn't get a negative DSCR loan or bridge option, there are many options.

Here's a longer form post about my situation, but i'll summarize it below (https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/41/topics/1163859-hoa-f...)

I bought a triplex in Albuquerque that the prior owner had removed the mailboxes at. 

A heavily promoted transaction with a smart seller necessitates rigorous examination and documentation.To ensure accurate assessments, I advocate hiring third-party professionals in financial research and due diligence.

When I did section 8 and had similar issues, we would buy a $15 floor lamp from Walmart and have installed prior to section 8 inspection. 

We also have a Bookkeeping for Real Estate Investors Course based on using QBO for REIs who want to do their own books (prior to having the cashflow to outsource).
