They can place bait around the perimeter of the property to prevent termites from ever reaching the structure. 

I'm going to be using my license primarily for my own transactions, so my primary objective is to find a broker with a favorable commission structure to the agent and a good reputation.

You want to be careful about how this is structured in most cases, although this sounds like a cool tenant you won't have an issue with....but you don't want a tenant to say hey the toilet has been running so I fixed it and will deduct X from rent. 

Without it, you wouldn't be able to do the deal --- as structured.  

I’m looking for a reliable website that will tell me market structure of the real estate market.

We got it under agreement for a client but during the home inspection they found a $25,000 structural issue which scared the buyer.

The property is in terrible condition where it easily could cost about $150k+ for the renovation and selling “As Is” I’ve checked the comps and it seems that market price for that area is about $250-$375k along with the next door neighbors home being relatively new and renovated from it’s older structure.

@John Stewart the considerations for the project would be zoning code based on the location of the project followed by structural considerations.

It's more specific than this breakdown, but basically rehabbing a bathroom (think attached/modified structure) would be a capital improvement deducted over time, but something like the cost of the toilet would be deductible this year as 'ordinary'  and therefore maintenance. 

My initial thoughts regarding this type of mortgage structuring are that it would be more beneficial when rates are high because there's a better chance that at the end of the initial period you could refinance into an interest rate that is either the same or lower than what you would've obtained.
