Called all the plumbing companies that were to clean out and clean up basement. 

Clean up the house and get it rented again, move on.

I've tapped back into 401k as needed but this is nearing depleted at this point so the low RoE properties will work well substituting this extra liquid cash in the following couple of years.       

$3,000 for a 2/1/1 in Springfield, Mo.In the process of clean up, I listed it and sold it for $11,500 before we got to any rehab at all.

It also won't deplete the reserves as quickly.We can throw any numbers at it but the cheaper properties tend to need larger reserve accounts. 

They over charge and over rate their their barters, such as sloppy paint job or poor clean up. 

I can't afford that amount of time or that amount of cleanup and repair afterwards so I need to get a second, or third, opinion.  

Here is the CDC's page on mold cleanup: https://www.cdc.gov/mold/cleanup.htm.There has been mold growing in houses as long as there have been houses.

I also have some messy neighbors, but since I'm not in town can't talk to them, or help clean up there mess.

Took us buying the one next door that shared the driveway and another full rehab to clean up the neighbrhood (both full of squatters and both with all utilities also broken/burst), spent several times over our budget and then made far less than planned on rents.
