Takes about 2 hours and costs $100 and my treatment is good for 20-30 years if left undisturbed. 

I feel confident that the market will return once a vaccine or another effective treatment is available, but concern that the near term events could push prices and rent down.With the recent price appreciation in markets due to less inventory and the current economic environment. 

Worst case, it costs about $800 to put in a remediation system, which really isn't a big deal.For termites, remediation is less than $1000 (for subterranean termites, which are common in my area) -- if I notice termite damage during the rehab, we'll do the treatment and repair any issues, but any major issues wouldn't be visible prior to opening up walls anyway, so I don't bother with inspections prior to purchase.For stuff like structual issues, if I notice something concerning, I'll generally have my engineer take a look.

Originally posted by Will Barnard:Jason, I do have the option to not accept any offer, for any reason, however, since I use a licensed agent, we can not demand that they use our lender, but can demand they double app, which is essence, accomplishes the same thing.First, I'm not an attorney, but I'm pretty confident of this...Assuming your agent isn't a principal in the transaction, the fact s/he is representing you will not violate any RESPA regulations, because it is YOU (who is unlicensed and the principal) who is demanding the buyer use a particular broker.Certainly, your agent can't require a particular broker as part of the deal, and I assume your agent isn't getting any kickback or favorable treatment from your broker as part of the deal.

Hi Adam,You are correct in that the 1031 Exchange would not apply here since you are dealing with securities, which are specifically excluded from 1031 Exchange treatment. 

I am a CPA and my understanding of the 1031 rules don’t allow like kind treatment in this case for a swap of property in exchange of LLC units or a partnership interest.

I recently submitted my residency application to retain the more favorable tax treatment but was only granted 50% at the lower rate, and the other 50% at 6%.

Other than that a few treatments pest treatments and we will put it on the market for 1100 a unit.

That said, there are still an unbelievable number of checks that come in that have to be hand processed and posted.Asking for a special treatment of holding this in case of that and then figuring out which check to deposit.... yeah. 

For example, if your inspector comes up with termite damage, you can ask for a price reduction or treatment by a licensed exterminator and repair of the damage by a licensed contractor.
