Now that the charity question is out of the way (however it's answered), you two can either look at setting this scenario up, addressing the question of her being better served renting or selling, or setting up either the rental or the sale once decided.My advice would be to run from these people, as everyone else in this thread has already said. 

You do want to lay a vapor barrier down- 6-10 mil thick polyethylene.

@Luke LaczakIt sounds like a vapor barrier or sound deadener.

it has organic vapor relief and will help masking the odor a little.  1) open the blinds if any and let as much sunlight in a possible.2) open all windows, let it vent for a few hours before the cleanup.  

The timing of your plans to move forward should also include her being in a position to go back to work as well.

We could reseal the edges with rubber scraps to act as a vapor barrier.  

I had been interested in using the strategy as it would allow us to make the note without her being qualified for the FHA or conventional loan and instead do everything in house in-sorts.

Even my agent bought into her BS.

2nd post - You guys gave a LOT of good feedback on the insulation / vapor barrier post - Thanks a LOT.
