@Frank Sanchez Hey Frank, before you buy keep in mind a few things: the moisture/humidity/mold in the  crawl is a dynamic thing.

Crawl space isn't a typical breeding ground for fleas, but it could be if there is a lot of junk and moisture down there.  

As others have said, you don't want the siding directly in contact with the roof as you'll have a place for moisture to collect.

Hi Everyone,Your feedback has been brilliant - real eye opener.The street address is River Ave, IN 46221 - some cross streets surrounding are: W Mc Carty St, Oliver Ave, W Ray AveNot sure how it is being rehabbed with tenants inside - some rehab work that's currently being done- gfci outlets, repairs to chimney, moisture intrusion prevention and as mentioned a full scope will be provided.Thank you for your very helpful advice.

Whatever the neighborhood the bathroom items need to be fully functional- that is, capable of handling moisture and liquid water.Marian Smith what has been your experience with Fusion Pro grout?

I spent all this time installing these and the one tenant still complained about moisture...Turns out they were not turning the fan on at all after I installed them 

And yes tenants may not be as gentle as I'd like and I understand things can when there are kids living in the house.

But if that inflation was a gentle increase (not like what happened in the 70's), then after a time lag RE starts to reflect the added cost of living, as rents go up as a result of inflation.

I know I hate them.. but I get to travel almost every month.. so I am not sitting here day in  day out.The best weather for me in the world is North Bay Area .. enough rain to keep it green and nice vineyards.. but no humidity and 3 seasons. as winter is gentle..

Work with the heirs gently and be mindful of the laws protecting tenants and their property in California.
