I’m concerned because they may find spores anyway, as mold is almost omnipresent in nature.

The nature of jobs exert powerful pressure on the people doing them. 

@Don Gouge my projected price was $500K and when started the project kept on finding new issues due to the nature of the property condition.

The same rules apply when you list a property for sale or whether it’s for rent.  

I think cash flow will be sparse; if not, I'd be interested as well in seeing what Jonathan Boyle has to say.Low absorption rates, lots of new construction projects, and an influx of young professionals moving up from Hoboken and NYC Thanks for the info Robert, but if you want to 'make money when you buy, not when you sell', and place an emphasis on cash flow, then three reasons you mentioned don't appear to apply.  

And that applies to EVERY property you buy, so that at any given moment, no matter how many hundreds of thousands of dollars you owe your Lender, you should STILL have  at least 30% equity on every property.

I'll learn from others any chance I get and apply to my own strategies the best I can. 

Eventually you ("you" meaning people in general)  will start forgetting a lot of what you have learned until you apply what you have learned.  

The latter has more risk and {potentially} more reward, but as my uncle would say: unless you grew up farming, you probably shouldn't consider share-cropping  [The same would apply to renting pasture for live-stock on a per-head share].  

This rule does not apply if you purchased the home with CASH (more on that in section 2).
