There are probably THOUSANDS of strains of mold.All that being said, mold needs moisture, some darkness, some stagnant air, some warmth and a 'host' to grow. 

@Joey CopperThis is my first post on BP so please be gentle.

No buyer and no real estate agent during an initial showing is going to know that there are shingles or punctures in the roof, that there are higher than normal moisture levels signaling that it could be problems with a roof, that a deck is not up to today’s current code, that there are cracks found in the sewer scope, etc. 

We just got the second inspection report and it shows that the wood directly on the CMU is untreated and there’s no moisture barrier.

But, be gentle in talking to people, they know they are in foreclosure and you are best off saying something to the effect of "Hi, I'm trying to buy a property in the neighborhood and I'm just canvassing the area to see if I can find anyone interested in selling.

So they started where accepted, got recognition, and started gently directing consumer actions. yeah, makes ya wonder if Zillow just purchased the play-book. 

Bought the next gentle fixer, fixed it up over time. 

It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially.

.)-$250 per bathroom-$1500 per living area (including outdoor spaces)-$1200 for a Kitchen + Dining -$500 miscellaneous That's buying everything new, so if you have the time and energy to shop around for some gently used furniture, you COULD do it cheaper, but I've found that the financial savings is seldom worth the time and effort it requires.

Another option could be to get a moisture meter (they have two pins/probes and you press them into the material) and it'll tell you the moisture in the material.
