I was wanting to get some information on mold in my apt .Landlord has done nothing section 8 says they don't deal with it the city told me that it is so common they don't bother with it .I believe it is my right to have section 8 to provide me with a safe living environment I have a 11 yr old daughter and a 10 yr old son who also comes in the apt so what steps would u recommend me to take .?

Is that a safe way of doing this?

Search online and this forum. the information is out there just need to find it. also ask friends and family if they ever purchased some items in the past and read those... i told my parents about my plans and my mother bought a couple of programs in the past where i learned some howto stuff... also on these forums there is a forum dedicated to rate books and other investment tools to see if they are worth it. do more online searching than anything... make sure u dont buy something for it just to collect dust. find out everything for free while u can and make a decision if you really need to buy a book. check out creoline.com also. it's a creative online investing site they advertise products there too but i jus read the free articles.

I've increased the value with high end remodeling to exceed the sales price to $212000 and equal the debt (just to be on the safe side; much controversy over whether debt must be equal).
