Risks of purchasing previous meth house?
I'm looking at a home that was previously a meth lab home. It was supposed to have been "cleaned up" and was purchased once in 2011 after the meth problem.
My realtor is saying the home still has the stigma even tho it was supposed to have been treated and cleaned and even gone thru a new owner 3 years ago.
I have obtained a copy of the Certificate of Illegal Drug Lab Cleanup from the Indiana Dept of Environmental Management. It is dated 9-2010
The home is currently listed at the exact price it sold for back in 2011
I suppose i'd shy away from this one as a flip, but how about a long term hold as a rental?
Does anyone have experience with purchasing previous Meth homes?
What is involved in having the home retested for contaminates 4 years after the fact?
