Hello,
my tenant sent me the following photo from my basement apartment. Apparently, there are moisture problems.
This concerns an exterior wall.
What is the correct procedure here (four-family house with four owners)? Should I first hire a building expert at my own expense to determine the cause (it could also be due to incorrect ventilation, etc.)?
How would you proceed in this situation?

. The rest is simply left to dry inside the house. Always has been. And I basically have the windows open all summer. Day and night. And never (!!!) had any mold.
The insulation might still be intact—but it is obviously not sufficient. The walls must be far too cold—otherwise, the moisture wouldn’t condense there like that.A house is not the same as a two-room apartment.
There are also plenty of multi-family houses where insulation has been added to the exterior facade afterwards, and now suddenly everyone is wondering why there is mold inside. The masonry, which previously “breathed,” is now suddenly airtight.

Never invest in an apartment as a rental property again!This obviously applies to anyone who can’t buy 10 or more apartments. In the past, you could at least save on taxes with this. Nowadays, only a luxury apartment is still worthwhile. For anything else, if you’re lucky, you might end up with a property that retains its value.
But at the same time, this is the solution: renovate, sell, and then relax. The timing is favorable.

However, every potential buyer will wonder why someone would buy an apartment for only five months.

Steffen805 Oct 2017 15:45I also have these so-called "experts" in my circle who always say, "Why don’t you buy apartments to rent out...?" blah blah blah... I just lean back, let them talk nonsense, and enjoy the big profit in my stock portfolio. If I feel like it, I can sell everything tomorrow at the push of a button...
