Maybe they keep a record of addresses of drug busts.

I found a terrific building, but once I started doing research I realized it was in a very high crime area (murders, drug dealers, etc). 5 blocks away from the building was fine, but the exact location of the building was a really bad area.I would definitely visit any property you're thinking of purchasing, as well as talk to the local police about the area you're considering.Good luck!

@Garan Kama take a look at this page when considering STR and Airbnb in Vegas: http://www.clarkcountynv.gov/administrative-servic...Clark County (where most of the strip is) is outside of the actual city of Las Vegas and transient occupancy of residentially zoned properties has been illegal since the 90's.

That's the issue to fixin today's digital world I recommend taking payment electronically only. even my drug dealer takes venmo, Time to bring business into the 21st century.

Be sure to take some time to really drive around neighborhoods in these areas, as the east side of the river is still really hit or miss with pockets of drugs and otherwise trashy/ sketchy areas.

You don't want a drug dealer or sex offender sneaking in.This could be a good deal for you because the insurance company will ensure payment and likely agree to a slightly higher rate.

My part time job is doing pre-employment drug screens on the contractors working at the refinery.

You could always start marketing for deals (using mailing / list services) and then partner with another local investor who can take has the bandwidth to take on your inbound leads and can handle negotiations, acquisition/exit strategies, contract administration, etc. in exchange for a profit split.

If an applicant has ever been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor, including any drug law violation, full information needs to be provided to the Commission.

You need to sit down with the zoning administrator after you pay for a survey that is recorded at the courthouse (because zoning won't talk to you if there's isn't one).
