The Treasury Regulations are very clear that a Qualified Intermediary is not permitted to release the 1031 Exchange funds unless certain events have occurred such as the 45 calendar day identification period passing or the 180 calendar day exchange period passing.

I'd also check with PD- he's required to register his address, to confirm if being around kids is permitted.

@Robert SlatkinThe permitting part is the most painful part, sometimes it might even take longer than the rehab itself.  

The opportunity with this property is that it has 425sf of un-permitted attic addition.

At first we thought that we could apply for just a load bearing wall replacement permit, over the counter.

Also, be very careful about "working" in Thailand without a work permit.  

Do you know if the garage remodel is permitted?

However, a quick permit search prior to making an offer revealed that the owner had not received a single permit for any work conducted, and received a code violation notice for the ADU last week with compliance due in about 30 days. 

I also make my way to others when my schedule permits.
