Thursday 8/6 @ 6pm - Gentle Ben's (Pretty central location).

First off, have you check the RH of the concrete floor, basically the moisture content.

Falling debris, issues with roots, animals/bugs using the tree to access the house and moisture around the house.

Be gentle.

I do ask what they are looking for in a place and if they mention something that doesn't go with my property I gently remind them of what the ad said about that and make sure they are not wasting my time.

I've had that question a few times as a Realtor and I gently remind the client that if I'm represnting them on the buy side then I do not get a commission from them as a buyer.

Also, it is wise to take up all the existing tack strip since it is a wood product that absorbs moisture and can potentially cause problems if not removed.

The property needs some foundation/moisture mitigation work, a trash out, and a full rehab.

Read the EPA booklet "A Brief Guide to Mold, Moisture, and Your Home."  2.

If you're prioritizing repairs, moisture invasion is top of the list since it doesn't get cheaper by putting it off.If you can do the repairs (especially stuff like major plumbing) it's better/quicker if you can handle the lost income.
