Will mold pass FHA inspection?

Generally, if your lender is providing an FHA loan for an "as is" property it will depend on what an appraiser finds that is obvious. Most appraisers are not licensed home inspectors nor do they act as inspectors but they will look for the obvious and take pictures. If it some cleaning with anti mold solution and then some painting afterwardsmakes all look good, I could imagine that part of the house looking fine and not becoming in issue for repair before the loan will get a "clear to close" for final loan docs.

Get a home inspection done first to see how much or extensive the mold could be. some home inspectors have units that can see thru the wall and see moisture.It would be worth the cost now instead of ignoring it and maybe have a problem that may cost you into the thousands.

unless it is very evident when the appraiser goes out it is most likely not going to be an issue, but make sure you have a licensed home inspector do a thorough inspection so you know the extent for sure.

It depends on whether not the appraisal address it as a issue.

Any visible mold will be an issue for all conforming loan products, not just FHA.. anything that has to do with the safety and health of the inhabitants, the appraiser is going to require the deficiency be corrected...
