Maryland Mold Removal Concerns

[Andrew Grieb]

BP,

I have found an REO property I am making an offer on, but I am curious if anyone in MD has experience dealing with Mold mitigation in a Baltimore County Row-home Basement? The property I have found has been sitting for a while and I am slightly concerned that other investors might have passed on this deal due to larger concerns than I am seeing.

The property has a finished basement that needs to be completely gutted due to mold and mildew.  There is a large amount of roof damage from a large tree that is extremely close to the foundation.  I know that most of the water damage is from the attic, I am also concerned about the root structure in the foundation. 

I don't know why, but I'm more concerned with dealing with the State of Maryland than I am about addressing potential foundation or roof issues. 

I know this is not a clear question, but any thoughts please?
