The neighbor just placed a note on my renter's door stating that they are starting termite treatment on a shared wall.

I'm expecting to get about $1,800 per month in rent.Questions: Is there any way we could get the sellers to pay for the termite bonding/treatment, especially considering that they tried to hide them? 

If you are a real estate professional and more specifically, if the income generated from selling this property would be classified as ordinary income you would have a completely different treatment.

Then 10-15 days later the mother and father went in and started seeking medical treatment for carbon monoxide poisoning.

@Rachael Britton You do not need a realtor to submit an offer for a property, but if you are dealing with the Seller's Agent directly, understand that unless/until their status changes to Transaction Broker, they will continue to be the Seller's Agent, meaning they are only working in the Seller's best interest and owe you basically nothing besides fair and honest treatment.

You also will likely want to understand the costs included in purchasing and renovating that either get capitalized or deducted or no treatment.

In order to have long-term capital gains treatment, outside of inheritance situations, you must have owned the property for at least 1 year. 

., Without documentation that the property has been held for investment it would not qualify for 1031 treatment. 

Even the most well documented exception in the special treatment of one borrower over another is going to get the lender fined or worse for not applying that same exact treatment to all borrowers.

So I get the worst of both worlds treatment.
