Do You Always Inspect / Treat for Termites

[Chris Bounds]

Distressed house buyers, especially in southern regions like Houston - Do you always inspect and/or treat for termites when rehabbing a flip or rental property?

Obviously, if there are signs of termite damage it's a no-brainer.  I'm more wondering if it's done as a general rule since distressed properties have a higher chance of active termites due to neglect.  Or, if there are no signs do you chance it and wait until a problem comes up (buyers inspection, tenant complaints).
