Michael clearly knows this stuff and I encourage you to listen to him.Here's how I look at rules and regulations, generally.

You also need a mirror or medicine cabinet, faucet, drain, p-trap, supply lines, new shutoff valves and who knows what other fittings.

That may then alter demand and supply within the sector (total demand and inventory levels).

That being said, however, King County and the greater Seattle area have some additional regulations that are hard on landlords and more friendly to tenants.

Indicators for such lenders are those who have no license and who don't register, charge points and run afoul of lending regulations.....not saying that's your case, just indicators.Private money is from an individual who is not in the lending business, investors try to use the term but incorrectly.

My question is there any problems or regulations with a property that has a quit claim deed before a 1031 can occur?

In the end my partner and I did it ourselves for about $150 worth of fungicide we bought at a cleaning supply store.Try to find someone that will just do the testing/consulting with you and isn't also a contractor that does the remediation, this is your best shot at getting an honest assessment of the mold problem.

Just as important you may be asking for trouble from SEC regulators for that kind of solicitation.I have taken the luncheon approach to chat about private money.Keep in mind the guru who popularized the group luncheon approach got smacked down by SEC regulators.

but it seems very borderline with SEC regulations which I want to be on the correct side of at all times.

Otherwise, I would pass as HOA's can kill cash flow for any buy and hold investor with all their rules and regulations..
