Meth House
Looking for some advice...
I found a house that looks like a good deal on paper. I learned through the disclosures online that there was an active meth lab in the house. Work was done to take care of that issue (about $3500). It was retested and cleared. Has anyone delt with this? Should I immediately walk away or can this work with the right numbers? I know I have to disclose this. Would it make more sense to be a rental? Not sure if renters would care less about the issue, which again was fixed. Here are my early estimates.
ARV-$135,000 not taking the meth issue into consideration
About 40k to rehab
Any thoughts on what a good purchase price would be.
