I have been making no-contingency cash offers on REO's, but ALWAYS do my own title search and get the title insurance.If your search turns something up it will be remedied at closing out of seller proceeds vs you being stuck with it later.

•What is the best way to find a trustworthy mold remediation company?

Wait for their report to come back and if it is positive for mold take action to remedy.

Inspection alone costs around $250-300, if lead paint is found the remediation can add much more.

I would be trying diligently to remedy that.

They are large expenses and need to be calculated into your purchase price.One final point is to not focus on paint or other items that are small cost to remedy.

I am also going to assume that whole deal with the landlord paying the WSG is either a typo of the same realtor that put up the Monet-like pictures, or that this situation will soon be remedied after buying the property.

@Gabriel EhrlichHi Gabriel,You will have to remediate the mold, and once it is done, you will need to test if it is gone.  

Hi Leslie, I unfortunately from time to time have to utilize mold remediation services.

I just needed to know a good company to call to get a ballpark on what a small, medium, and large remediation would cost.
