Tax treatment depends on a variety of issues such as how you structure your real estate investments, if you actively manage, how long/if you live in them, how you finance them, and how long you hold them before you sell them. 

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

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.

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.
