Picture above shows it to be almost black from unsigned treatment. 

Now i have never heard that we get special treatment or looked at more highly then other investors but make sure you always mention it!

I guess they had problems with permits due to the towers being 'eye sores.'  

And there's nobody in Africa who's able to spend enough money to pay for the treatment.

Properties that are acquired with the intent to rehab and then sell immediately do not qualify for 1031 Exchange treatment. 

The one point that I wanted to make sure was understood is that the improvements, whether paid before, at or after closing must be paid under the control of the Qualified Intermediary and the corresponding improvements must be completed before you take title to the property in order to be counted as "real property" for like-kind property requirements and qualify for tax-deferred exchange treatment.
