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.

The particle board under the plastic coating does not stand up to moisture, so its important to keep the plastic like covering intact. 

"moisture damage and/or wood rot".

This is my second property so be gentle, hahaThat said my issue is I have 3 huge trees on a property that I recently purchased that I planned to BRRRR.

It had a moisture content level in the crawlspace of higher than 20%.
