Will Tony buy my Forestburgh house if it has black mold?
Yes. Tony has bought dozens of NJ and NY houses with Stachybotrys (black mold). The cost of remediation is priced into the offer; you don't pay it.
Black mold, white mold, mold behind the walls you can't see — Tony buys Sullivan County mold-affected houses without remediation. No testing required. No contractor estimates. The mold is priced into the cash offer.
Mold makes a house feel uninhabitable. The smell. The headaches. The fear that it's affecting your family's health. The five-figure remediation quotes. The realtor who says "you have to fix this before you can list." Tony skips all of that. Mold-affected houses are routine purchases.
Sullivan County mold remediation costs $3,000 to $30,000 depending on the affected area, and complete remediation is rare — there's almost always more mold behind another wall. Tony's cash offer reflects the worst-case scenario; you don't have to pay anyone to test or remediate first.

The kind of cape property Tony has bought in Forestburgh.
Sullivan County is the old Borscht Belt: Monticello, Liberty, Fallsburg, and Woodridge's 1920s-60s bungalow colonies and hotel sites, Bethel (the Woodstock festival site), Narrowsburg and Callicoon on the Delaware, and Roscoe trout-fishing camps. Resorts World Catskills in Monticello (opened 2018) and Brooklyn second-home buyers since 2020 reshaped a deeply distressed market.
Sullivan effective rates run roughly 2.5-3.2% of full value; bungalow colonies and summer camps often carry co-op or association structures that complicate the bill.

Mold and Sullivan County disclosure laws: NJ and NY both require sellers to disclose known mold to buyers in normal sales. Selling to Tony, an investor cash buyer, simplifies disclosure — Tony accepts the property knowing mold exists and signs accordingly. The seller's disclosure liability ends at closing.
Every cash buyer, Tony included, starts from the same three numbers: what the house would sell for fully renovated, what it costs to get it there, and how long that takes. The offer is that finished value minus the repairs, minus the buyer's resale costs and margin. In practice that lands most cash offers somewhere around 70–85% of the renovated value, less repairs. The honest comparison is not against a renovated house's list price — it is against what you would actually net from a NY listing after commission, repairs, and months of carrying costs.
| Line item | List with an agent | Sell to Tony |
|---|---|---|
| What the house would sell for fully renovated | $400,000 | $400,000 |
| Repairs a retail buyer's lender will demand | − $45,000 | Tony's problem |
| Agent commission (5–6%) | − $20,000 to $24,000 | $0 |
| Inspection credits, seller closing costs, concessions | − $8,000 to $12,000 | $0 |
| Taxes, insurance, mortgage, utilities while you wait (3–6 months) | − $9,000 to $15,000 | $0 |
| Time to cash in hand | 4 to 7 months | 7 to 14 days |
| What you actually walk away with | ≈ $305,000 to $318,000 | Tony's number, in full, on your date |
Whether Tony's number beats that listing net depends on the house. On a move-in-ready home in a hot NYmarket it usually will not, and Tony will tell you to list. On a house that needs work, has tenants, sits in an estate, or carries violations — the houses retail buyers cannot finance — it is often close, and the seven-day timeline is the difference. Call 1-908-768-4759, get the number, and compare it yourself.
