Had a unit like this.Tear everything out and Wash walls with TSP and 3 coats of Killz.Also clean the vents.

Ask tenant what was done prior to moving (on camera), carpets professionally cleaned?

So I bought a condo about a month and a half ago...something has been bothering me though.The seller's agent somehow snuck in a $200 "cleaning reimbursement" on the HUD document that I don't recall ever agreeing to.

However; to keep low costs, clean the tile and fireplace insert really good.

I don't see why I should need to get this signed by the seller, as they didn't tell me about the taxes, and provide clean title.I have a clause that reads:"Unless otherwise stated herein, or as otherwise provided on an inspection addendum attached hereto, Buyer shall have the option of inspecting or, obtaining at Buyer's expense, inspections to determine the condition of the Property.Seller agrees that in the event Buyer determines in its sole discretion that the Property is not suitable for its purposes, Buyer may withdraw this offer to purchase at any time, and the earnest deposit shall be returned to buyer, upon the sole demand of buyer to the title company."

If they are gonna keep it for the time being let them know to keep you in kind as you know it can take a while to clean a house out.

I've never dealt with wholesalers before but I heard and read that they could routinely find properties for 60-70 cents on a dollar.So, I signed up to be on a buyers list of a wholesaling company that has a good reputation in my market (name is irrelevant at this point).They started to call me the very next day.

Build a lattice screen outside that clear the top of the unit, leave plenty of breathing space, a couple feet so you can get in there to clean it too.

So even if you bought the place and cleaned / fixed the mold, or whatever the problem, will you be ready for all the questions about it?

By cleaning these up, you could refinance them in two years with a base value well north of $350k.
