If the spore count inside the house is alarmingly high compared to the readings outside, then you've got a mold problem.I'm no attorney, but I'd strongly advise you let the tenant pick the mold inspection company (even if it's from a short list you provide), so there's no hint of perceived collusion.

I'm an out of state investor and am ready to commit to a deal. 

I will also strongly advise against getting married to get off-base ( I've seen many get burned doing that too).

Your situation is hard to have a strong opinion either way, because you do only have 3 years left.

There is a lot that goes into it and you better be willing to 100% commit to be even halfway decent in this industry. 

You agreed to a number in the contract, be a good businessman and honor the contract the second half of the lease.Did you give them a discount for the 2 year commitment instead of market rate for a 12 month lease?

Many posts here have strong opinions on the subject and it has my head spinning some.

I am also not in any way shape or form advising, recommending, or even slightly suggesting that you commit mortgage fraud.

While meditating this morning (I'm trying out the miracle morning routine recommended by the latest podcast, committing myself to it for at least 30 days), one question came across my mind.

Creative; strong problem solving and visualization abilities.
