@Bjorn Ahlblad thank you for your suggestion --- and enjoy our typical rain season in WA :) Pretty happy to join the BP family and take the baby steps here. It's great to have experts' guide in this area :) and as you can see from the following comments REI is here as well to address the issue via BP channel which surprised me a lot

@Chris Clothier I never thought you will reply my thread here -- don't even mention within the same day. I knew you from YT then started checking with the brand behind you as the baby step in RE. Thank you for the detailed comments about my concern and I'm really hope that we could build trust for a long term as well.

hi, I'm new for the rental property business, starting with turnkey with REI as a baby step based on some information here, however, the property is under contract (with > 100K flip cost) in OK, and then there is live termite issue there with the pest inspection. REI mentioned they will treat it but without answering my question of how and what's the warranty they could offer, and even no response with my email, should I worry about that ....?

Also here when we purchase the house, the owner's title fee is paid by Seller, but not's the case with REI. It's few hundreds offset, I think it's a smaller issue comparing with Termites, and since it's out of state it's pretty hard for investor, any advice here?
