Also, prior to starting this new job, I have been in respiratory therapy school for 2 years full-time with no income.I have known many nurses who started out fine with FHA loans at 3.5% down a few months into their job after graduation despite not having any previous work experience.

The mold has made me very ill with respiratory problems and I can no longer rent from you.

I wanted to open the discussion on how landlords with vacant properties can help traveling nurses, respiratory therapist, etc.

They all smell to me and cause me to have respiratory distress and break out in hives just the same as regular cheap paint.

I just spoke to them today and they informed me their young son has respiratory issues and after explaining the living situation to the doctor, he highly recommend against them living in my unit.  

I simply want to replace my income, because my knees can’t take my line of work much more (I’m a Respiratory Therapist)....and I would like more time to my family.I will be attending local REI meetings starting this month, but at this point have zero connections.Thanks in advance!

Mold exposure generally doesn't kill, but will make people sick...In 2004 the Institute of Medicine (IOM) found there was sufficient evidence to link indoor exposure to mold with upper respiratory tract symptoms, cough, and wheeze in otherwise healthy people; with asthma symptoms in people with asthma; and with hypersensitivity pneumonitis in individuals susceptible to that immune-mediated conditionLead exposure generally doesn't kill either, it just causes brain damage and other fun things to happen...The signs and symptoms of lead poisoning in children may include: Developmental delayLearning difficultiesIrritabilityLoss of appetiteWeight lossSluggishness and fatigueAbdominal painVomitingConstipationHearing lossBabies who are exposed to lead before birth may experience: Learning difficultiesSlowed growthAlthough children are primarily at risk, lead poisoning is also dangerous for adults.

If the tenant can prove that they were actually sick (ie, has a doctor bill from the last couple of months for a respiratory infection, asthma attack, etc), then I'd consider some additional compensation - at least pay for the doctor bill.  

I am a Respiratory Therapy with passion for investment.

Many can have respiratory issues and allergies.
