Mold Inspections: A Small Investment To Protect The Largest
Consider your client’s house possesses a $500,000 market value. A reasonable monthly mortgage payment is $3200. If the mold inspection for the house is $650, it pales in comparison to the monetary investment of the house. The inspection would be:
• 20% of one month’s mortgage payment
• 0.13% of the total property value
When you see the mold inspection as a factor in the broader scheme of the house’s property value, the added benefit of the inspection exponentially outweighs its cost.
