Found mold in the crawlspace
Buying a house, just did the inspection. They found 'white fuzzy growth' in the crawlspace. The seller says it’s just mildew from the rain. Should I run away from this deal or is it easy to clean up? I have kids with asthma.
Agent won't show me houses without preapproval?
I'm not sure if I even want to move to the suburbs from the city. I just want to get a feel for the houses and see if i could live there. The agent I talked to said he wouldn't show me any houses without preapproval. i get he doesn't want to waste his time if i can't afford the house. but i also don't want to waste my time on preapproval if i might not even move. Do I have to have preapproval to see a house?
