Knowing how to tear down walls isn't
same thing as knowing how to eliminate mold.
So if someone hesitates at paying these unreasonable prices, they become a motivated seller.
Opportunities are made from these problems.
Want to find these houses? Go to your bank's home loan office. Advertise in your paper. They are everywhere.
Of course, you don't want to buy just every house. You just want sick houses, not dead houses.
* Go into crawlspace and stick a screwdriver into floor joists. Are they rotted?
* Look at dry wall is it just green or is it falling apart?
* Is roof sturdy? Can you see light coming through holes in roof?
* If building isn't falling apart, you have a "diamond in rough."
* Contact a mold specialist. A Mycologist, not a contractor. They can walk you through eliminating mold, step-by-step.
* We know a family quoted $80,000 to fix a moldy home.
They solved problem for 85 cents. That house just needed some duct tape on their A/C ductwork to cover up cat scratches.
* Most repairs aren't that cheap. The average house is around $2000 to do an $80,000 repair.
Contractors also tend to spray chemicals that are more dangerous than mold. They will often say something like this - "Its EPA approved."
My old EPA law instructor said that EPA approval just means that it won't kill MOST people.
A Mycologist will use something that kills mold but won't hurt homeowner. Mycologists are aware of effect of these chemicals on people.
It is a matter of focus. Are you focused on house [an inanimate object] or are you focused on people?
If you can buy a house worth $100,000 for $30,000 and fix it up for $2,000 there is $68,000 profit. Rent house or sell it for a profit. They find another moldy home and do same thing again and again.
