I would definitely pitch in to replace spoiled food or ruined clothes.

The use HDs edge sander, same score with grit, maybe a 32 to start with.Then ideally you need to tack cloth the floor.

I would go with a hot water and TSP and rinse for walls, ceiling (just damp, not too much water the walls and cabinets). 

If its going to be in the elements, make sure it is rated for at least damp applications.

Biggest issue is damp basement that has me a bit worried.

The problem usually turns out to be one of: closed register, furniture over registers or bedroom doors closed (with dirty cloths on the floor blocking the draught under the door).  

From what I remember the IRS is looking for elements that constitute employment such as: you have to set their hours, require they wear a uniform/clothing, etc.  

They can't go do it only online etc.90% of retail closures last year are clothing and furniture related stores.So with retail it's about the location and design of your center along with the make up of the tenant mix.

I'd say read some good books and go to some local meetings and meet people but also work work work and save save save now, while you're responsibilities are slim to none.Drive a 1992 honda accord, go to resale shops for clothes and pack them lunches.Good luck!

The home has noticeable mold, damp (at least) carpet, and then normal foreclosure issues (builders grade fixtures, built in 87 and never updated).
