The heating company boss (who got called down to our house by the contractor) deemed it so important to get replaced that he was pulling people from other jobs to get it done today.Needless to say my father-in-law is now a believer in my inspections (we also found a moisture problem in the bathroom causing the paint on the ceiling to peel that had never been reported by the tenants and fire alarms that were not functioning properly) and I'm so glad that I have a reserve fund!!

I am doing the easy things myself while subbing out the more technical items:electrical main panel and raising the mast to coderoofHVACAnd last but not least we may be ahving to raise the roof of the master bath and replacing the sill plate due to moisture penetration (I will assist in this since I am good following directions...well most of the time really)Drywall cause who really likes that anyways? 

Personal preference, but I wouldn't feel right selling the property with any sort of serious moisture/mold issue or rot that could be a fairly easy repair. 

The basement has a little moisture, but nothing a dehumidifier won't cure.  

Moisture helps mold to grow so purchasing a dehumidifier would help remove moisture.Good luck

In Texas the ground bulges or cracks depending on moisture or lack there of.

You want to have as much market penetration as possible and that means you need to be putting time and money into many different marketing outlets.

But let's say a seller says, "oh that, it's really nothing, been that way for a couple years, my Realtor put that in because, technically some moisture comes in under the roof and has caused a stain on the bottom of the roof decking.

If you have a hot attic and every plumbing penetration and electrical box is allowing air in and out it's very hard to keep the place cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

Their attorney(s) and DA will penetrate your trust like poop through a goose.
