Buy and hold might be more my style after this experience!  

Please make sure you or workers wear cartridge style air respirator when removing that carpet and spraying with any of these strong chemicals also probably should wear a white tyvek style suit etc. 

Keep in mind that styles vary wildly.

Most of the business style loans are there to serve a need where one doesn't exist already. 

What flagged me was the email didn’t quite seem like the ‘writing style’ of my closing lady.

@Phil Wrigley : Sarasota can work as a VRBO style investment, but it will depend on where you purchase.

The home is about 100 years old and plank style construction (no studs or insulation in exterior walls).It’s looking like all in this will run about $10,000.I was wondering if anyone has gone through a similar project and what the cost was.I’m located in North East PA.

To anyone unfamiliar they are offering a forgivable loan of 50% up to 40k for owner occupants for single family and duplex style houses contingent on staying in the home for 5 years.

Was it financials, physical, or environmental that you found.

From an operations stand point, make sure the quote from the contractor includes — full containment and HEPA filtered negative air movers that ideally can exhaust to the exterior, manometer with print out logs documenting the containment’s negative pressure throughout the mitigation, full removal of affected materials (drywall, baseboard), (wood framing can sometimes be sanded and then sprayed with a spor/fungicide), and finally an *inspection by a third party environmental hygienist for air clearance*.
