The living room has laminate with some raised edges from water penetration.

But upon ripping it up, I found it to be soaking wet and layered with piles of dander/dirt, which due to the moisture was more of a mud -yuck.

"Looking at the possibility of using cinder block for small flex/industrial developments"Only know residential stuff built with cinder blocks, but get with a structural guy to understand:1) Is CMU (cinder block) cheaper for your design2) Moisture invasion - In apartments you build an outside wall of CMU and then cover it with frame/sheetrock, you'll get lots of condensation and, god forbid, mold.3) Structural integrity - I really don't know since I think earlier stacked CMU wasn't as strong as tilt-wall, but don't know.

Here in the Dallas area, our soils tend to expand and contract as moisture changes, so foundation problems are quite common.

If the bathroom ceiling it's a getting damaged from moisture, I will make sure they have a bath fan that  rated for the space and instruct them to use it. 

In that time I have collected enough rust (from all the moisture) to consider myself native.  

I think it is comparable to the Allure Ultra that is better for areas with potential moisture (bathrooms, basements, etc).  

If I were to do STR, I would consider getting a new hot tub or getting the old one in working order, but I am concerned of the risk it adds to the property from all the moisture since it's indoors. 

One other tip is to be sure all of your offers are contingent on a moisture termite inspection, even if they are as/is. 

There is moisture getting into that wall somehow.
