Over the past 2 weeks, I have been studying the basic concepts of real estate and the different ways of investing.

My thought is, if the wetness caused the mold all within a week, how is it not covered?

Instead of mailing out hundreds of yellow letters a week as I had planned I have been able to mail only 20 each letters each week.
