If I was your neighbor and found out you didn’t tell me, I’d sue you for a lot more than the $1900. Just eat the cost and nip this problem in the bud before it gets worse.

Termites are not a DIY thing. Leave it to the professionals.

Any small area treatment can’t guarantee they aren’t still elsewhere in the walls. Even treating your condo specifically probably isn’t enough. Let the board know. If other units or public spaces have termite issues as well, the building needs tenting (going through this right now in my building)

Look around for the right professional, but let the professionals that it. 1900 bucks is a small price to pay for a termite guarantee.

This should be a condo expense. Typically things outside the inner facing wall are joint expenses. Look at your docs.

Termites are not handled by a spray. They are deep inside the wood so the way to handle it is to treat the entire area with toxic gas. Otherwise it won’t reach the termites.

Ya- probably need to be tenting whole building- should be on the HOA. I tented a full house for $1600- so $1900 for a condo sounds high.

We own a rental property that has appreciated quite a bit and have the opportunity to do a 30-yr cash out refi at 75% LTV that would leave us with about $200,000 at the end of the deal. Rent currently wouldn’t cover the costs and we’d need to deploy the cash and earn about $750/mo to break even. We’d ideally like to use the money to invest in other property and syndicates. Seem like a good idea? Not sure if we are over leveraging ourselves and it’s worth the risk.
