I would not have done a mold report unless there was clearly visual signs of mold.

An attractive property visually and financially4.

People will get deterred from buying a house there, which in turn lowers the market value of that area.3) Visual pollution. 

It’s an easy goal to visualize for many people but also it’s a trap.

You need to visualize the goal.

Some people can visualize around that but a lot of people need visual cues.

@Nathan LegerTo me it was all about visualizing myself at age 65… try doing that, if you think you’ll be content sticking with the rat race and being comfortable then just do that.

If you find out that this is not the case for this property and your long term goal is to completely reshape the property to the point where there is no visual remembrance of how it once was, I say move forward with the purchase.  

"inspection is limited to a visual inspection" which means they are not opening walls, pulling up carpet, taking things apart to inspect further, etc. which would obviously be invasive to the seller's property.

Thanks again for your reply and the visuals are very helpful.
