Try calling the health department, but that may result in everyone having to leave while the house gets treated.

This would involve the town, board of health, and so on.

And if you do, you required to have the test done and submit the results to the department of public health. 

Unless it's a safety issue, hazardous condition, or a health risk, they should quit failing houses for silly stuff. 

It has been managed by the matriarch of the family for years, but health issues are now requiring a change.I own a portfolio of SFHs and know the value of hiring a good property manager!

School has been an issue with my youngest (learning disabilities) She can't quit her job until we replace her yearly income + healthcare (roughly 24K bring home + health) That being said, when you started in real estate investing how soon did you start using the income to live off of?

I am new to BP and investing in general but believe we have a great opportunity to pursue that I am looking for advice on.We have an elderly neighbor that has been moved into an assisted living home due to health decreasing.

We want to help him keep his property in good shape, but are a little worried that there are serious health risks involved for our family if we stick around, without some serious efforts at remediation.  

@Kevin Zheng   Dollars and cents aside - what is best for your mom - there's pro's / con's to all 3You're asking a somewhat vague question as there are lots of things to consider - such as how much money she has (will she outlive it and eventually go on govt assistance -- the answer to this really could help you in your search for an AL facility or SNF (skilled nursing facility) --- What are her present needs - how is her health - what does she need help with presently?
