Also, some regions have issues with expansive clay soils (requiring continued maintenance over seasonal changes in soil moisture content).

Hollow core doors can hold water and retain moisture, get rid of them.These issues were found with flooding along the White River in Branson and the Mississippi floods, fresh water, but also contaimnated water.

If moisture is trapped under that slab it will wick up through to whatever is on top of it and you will soon have more mold issues.

If the condensation was heavy, the existing drywall can be saturated with moisture and that takes time to dry out.

Lots of moisture in basement and from roof area.

Larger master baths Ill do in satin, semi-gloss on the rest for greater moisture resistance.If there is color on the walls I like flat white ceiling as the flat reduces shadowing which highlights imperfections, and flat white "lifts" the ceiling while darker colors "lower" it.

Small aquariums haven't been a problem for us, but the large ones give off too much moisture and have the potential to cause more water damage.

One of the properties is a 1 Br/1Ba that needs some improvement, there may be a moisture problem, it has a noticeable bug problem, last year there was a plumbing problem, yea...it needs some work.I am not sure about the classifications nor the current living environment of the other property, but my guess is it's 50/50 on similarity.The owner is offering my friend both properties for $150k with $5k down.

We have gas FA in our primary residence and electric FA in our family vacation property.I absolutely prefer gas forced air heat - natural gas is a good value in our area and forced air movement keeps moisture down thus reducing problems with mold.

That included gutting to the studs, joists, re-plumbing everything (tub and toilet were re-located), re-wiring, insulation, moisture-resistant drywall, new window, new basic tub, subfloor, underlayment, fairly cheap tile on floor and tub surround, sink/vanity from lowes, basic toilet, paint, etc.
