I see a satellite photo of the property.

If there is any mold there, it's because the walls or pipes or conduit are dirty, and the mold is growing on that dirt.Dawn (or similar dish soaps) increase the surfactancy of water.

And if it's fully furnished, they'll want dishes.

When I make offers without seeing the property, I use every resource possible to understand what I'm dealing with..usually Google Street view, satellite view, listing history, zillow, and obviously a good look at the comps..assessed value, photos, etc...If you are offering at the low end of where the cheapest properties are selling, chances are you will have a deal if it comes through. .just estimate on the high end of a typical rehab..If it gets accepted, go see it before you cough up the deposit..The goal is to flush out a seller willing to accept much less than list, not necessarily to get an accepted offer..so if list is 140 and you offer 80 and they counter at 100, now go look at the property and see if it will work..tell the agent you need to firm up your numbers..much quicker than looking..I would only do it though if I am far from list price..If it's a new listing and the price is good, I take a look and make sure I will perform if I'm submitting an offer

I don't know how you can discontinue for some but not others probably need to talk to the cable company.For substitute service I am not sure about the satellite dish etc but our building has both cable and Verizon.

Close to Delmar and the Loop, as well as part of Washington University's satellite campus, I think it is prime for development as the first stop for investors willing to cross the Delmar Divide. 

I also secured two more listing appointments and did a load of laundry and the dishes

You'll be paying for everything from cable TV to broken dishes.

Add in all the items that are unlikely to last 15 years like refrigerator, dish washer, paint, garbage disposals, etc. and you can see why a kitchen alone cost ~$50/month.
