That's why they hire brokers and SafeGuard(I think)..We are a direct broker for several large banks, they don't hire out to just anyone. Now they hire a certain company of their liking to handle everything
Sure looks like everything is being "handled" :icon_scratch: A retarded monkey could prevent a vacant house from growing mold. Hell, too bad they killed that one earlier this week, I'm sure he would have done a great job.

Why bother running the A/C? Air conditioning is NOT cheap and neither is running a dehumidifier.Running an A/C at say 78-80 degrees when the door is hardly opened will NOT cost a lot, especially when considering remodeling costs, etc.
A swing and a miss by CMK.

Are bank's paying insurance premiums on these homes? This could be intentional on the part of the banks, since it might be the only way for them to get a post-collapse price for the house. Enough mold makes a house a total loss, right ?
If that's not the case, i don't think it would take more than a few photos of some of the "after" pictures and a written estimate of the repair costs to make the case to a bank that it's worth $50/home/month to do this kind of crap. Most are already paying snow removal crews to comply with city laws [hint: banks also like to sell foreclosures before winter if they can make it happen]

20/mo for electricity > 67k dollars to completely gut and remodel the housei think is the point being made
67k to gut and remodel a house because the air conditioning is not running? What point are you making here? Oh what did they do before A/C?

You never answered my question about what is the point of running the A/C. Opening and closing the door is not what is going to cause the air handler to run...

And yes, opening the door will cause the "air handler" to run. When it's warmer outside than inside, you open the door, and uh oh the temperature changed. Houses are tight enough that without doors being opened/closed it shouldn't run more than a couple of times a day, if that. I know my parents CA hardly ever runs unless people are going in and out.
You're picking on the wrong point of my rant. It's not ABOUT the A/C, it's about keeping air circulating and preventing mold growing conditions. Opening windows would suffice most of the time, but the humidity here is ridiculous in the summer.
