flipping a meth house in houston texas
I have a good deal on a vacant house here in houston texas to rehab and flip, but the owner told me today that she was in jail for a year for drug possession. She didn't elaborate on it any more than that, and I don't know moving forward If I should pursue this deal. I have it under contract with title right now. I called local police dept and they said they have responded to calls several times at that address, but they will only tell me what for if I submit a written request. Was wondering if I should pursue that or just get a written statement from the owner, she says nothing having any thing to do with drugs happened at the house. Hope I have given enough info here for ya'll to comment back

I knew a guy that bought a crack house a few years back. After he got it rehabbed and rented people were constantly knocking on the door and trying to buy drugs. Later the house was involved in a drive by shooting putting 20 rounds of high powered shells in the doors and windows. Later somebody torched the house and it burned to the ground. Now if this sounds like something out of a movie script it should be. I made the whole thing up. I think you'll be just fine :).
