My name is Ahmad Attalah and I am a newbie REI from College Park, MD. 

Hello BP community - I'm reaching out with a question following a series of events (some mold related) that has led to 3 of 4 college tenants in my SFR having their parents request release from their lease 3 months early due to perceived air quality concerns.Background (University rental in MN - lease started Jun 17 with 4 college roommate - parents cosigned and pay rent):- In Sep 17 we had a minor roof leak that was corrected immediately (flashing)after notification with only minor paint damage and no sign of mold (from the attic or interior wall). - In Nov 17 tenant's parents (these are college students) call my property manager to report a broken dryer and mold growth in the basement laundry room, a bedroom above the laundry room, and in the bathroom.

It's an entire house, a full basmenet for storage, a yard and a garage.

The $500K SFR rockstar agent isn’t the $500K rockstar self-storage expert.

We had previously set up a 50/50 Joint Venture agreement on a 4-plex.

I have been hanging out there and learned from a neighbor that the place is partially occupied and the previous owner was "always there fixing things".

But I'm wondering if I should up my game and install one of those storage systems, this should rent north of $1800.

In addition, if they find evidence of previous coverage, they will use that value to issue insurance.

I started buying real estate before this, but wasn’t on the buy and hold path.In a previous post, I hit 10 Properties, you can see all that through my profile page.

I'm new to this all and have a few questions I'm hoping someone might be able to help me figure out.I'm trying to purchase a 3 bed 2 bath house in a college town.
