Plus, you probably won't have to worry about your tenants doing drugs or committing crimes in the house.With your VA loan you can get into a house with 0 percent down and not have to pay PMI (private mortgage insurance).

There have been multiple incidences of squatters and drug activity in the house.

Now is not the time to insult tenants further I had a good friend become addicted to prescription meds.

I believe depending on where you are you can technically still evict someone for conduct, such as someone doing drugs on your property.If you have signed someone else to start tenancy and the previous tenants overstays, they are technically squatters right? 

Emotions are a powerful drug

His son and daughter in law were frequently there "helping " him . ( they were the black sheep of the family , drugs , jail etc ) .  

@Greg H. we just finished an eviction last week on people who were using drugs and damaging our property and allowing other people to enter the property and damage it also.

I confronted the neighbor who then stopped doing it.2) There was drug dealers hanging out in front of the property, dealing.

If this is a small slice of property that hasn't been used by the claimant or his predecessors for 30 years, then a lawsuit against you is unlikely.But if you are sued, then based on what you've posted, you have a valid (legally cognizable) defense.  30 years of continuous use of the property by you and your predecessors constitutes (Adverse Possession and/or Prescriptive Easement). 

Said his friend, a snowbird who spends his winters in FL owned condos where there's a lot of drug dealing, including his tenants, and authorities threaten to seize it unless he takes care of the problem.
