Im sure it works but it is an eye sore and I think a waste of time to install/remove.

- What is the soil condition, and will it require any special treatment to be suitable for building?

The first thing to know about crowd funding solutions is that many are structured in a way that they would not qualify for 1031 Exchange treatment (e.g.,  membership interests in a limited liability company that are treated as partnership interests).  

I just did an updated rent roll and she stands out like a sore thumb.   

@Daniel Overby Ozone treatment for sure.

Or some other form of treatment?

This is the snippet from the Massachusetts standard Purchase and Sale agreement that outlines the treatment at a high level.

I'd pay the first round of treatments, while informing them (and have in lease) that they will be responsible for future costs of pests as motivation to keep the place clean.

My understanding is that thickness would need to be higher on straw and without treatment, you have fire or mold issues to be concerned with.

Hi @Jennifer McPherson, You will not qualify for 1031 Exchange treatment if you were living in the house as your primary residence.
