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

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.

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.

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%.

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. 

It looks as if the bottom middle photo shows wood to ground contact which may be where the termites came from, you may want to consider a treatment there.

Since I originally started with HomeVestors the "We Buy Ugly Houses" guys in Cleveland in 2012, and just expanded to Chicago area last year I was unfamiliar with the class action lawsuit against that chemical plant and the people who developed (allegedly) brain cancer in that area.Anyone have any more info on this or done a deal in that area?  

She was diagnosed with bone marrow cancer last year and went through an arduous year of treatment, including a stem cell (bone marrow) transplant.

So, a termite treatment certification should not be enough to satisfy you.
