It could not be remedied within 60 days for habitation (Hud rules) and probably would take a motivated person 12 months to get it livable (most would knock it down)Can an owner occupant knock down a HUD home?

If you know about the water issue, and you plan to provide a disclosure to the buyer, you are most likely required to disclose this fact (most state disclosure docs ask specific if you know of any water or dampness issues below grade).If you disclose the issue, buyers are going to ask what you've done to remediate it, and if the answer is "nothing," that might scare off some buyers.The bigger issue that buyers will worry about isn't the water itself, but the mold that will likely start to grow if the condition persists.Personally, I'd try regrading to fix the problem, so you could at least be able to disclose that you tried to fix it.

There is a pool and a spot in the backyard with no water and a mold remediation letter in the file.

I think going with a mold remediation service is best, not only to determine what kind of mold, but why it's there.

If you are not familiar on what to look for, I would recommend taking a fire and smoke remediation specialist with you.

I had a bid from a mold remediation for $4000 but opted to clean it all myself.Thanks
