Keyed on inside is safety issue can not easily open door in case of emergency.Thoughts?

My understanding is that drywall is food for mold(at least the toxic black mold).  

I need to buy my first four plex and I am starting that process and will look at them with my co-worker (He use to be a electrical guy building houses) and pay him in beer and food.

@Francis Rusnak Just food for thought. $75 rental gain x 4 units = $300 a month. 300 x 12 =$3,600 annual.$3,600/ $10,000 = 36% return on your investment to bump rents.

My professional background is in residential Energy Efficiency consulting, so I am familiar with retrofit projects as they relate to occupant comfort, improving energy bills, improving indoor air quality, and health & safety.

And this is an electrical work for a Fortune 500 company who is listed in the Fortune Top 50, so safety to them is of the utmost importance and making sure you have a complete understanding of electrical and controls skills.Thanks everyone in advance...

A little food for thought.

A few things that I was told by that FHA says are:Must meet the minimum standards of safety, security, and soundness.I found a link that goes into way more detail of what the requirements are for FHA loan:http://www.investopedia.com/articles/mortgages-rea...Hope this is helpful and you are able to locate a great property!

These issues are not a safety or health concern, so it's not required by law to be rectified in a week, correct?
