There was food and trash and cigarette butts all around the house, the house smelled like vomit and beer.

Just like how the cigarette industry used to give millions to children's cancer research, to have something to say in defense of themselves when they were accused of a hideously immoral business model.Going back to our original dichotomy, though: nobody ever focuses on (b) in social problems, Eric.

The stench of cigarettes everywhere.A long long time ago, when kids were mean to me in school, I'd come home and ask my mommy why they hated me and she told me that it was because I would end up running the factory they worked in.

There was more bodegas selling cigarettes, lottery tickets and high fructose corn syrup juices than supermarkets with fresh fruits and vegetables.

I would also take a look at alcohol and cigarette company profits  during a recession, as they actually go up, not down.

Considerations I've found so far include: various layers of outdated insulation (mid-80's fiberglass stuff laid over old vermiculite), 1x2's nailed together to create 2x4's (but still relatively sound structure for the age), asbestos siding (needs a powerwashing and I've found it's totally OK, until it's time to rip it off or demoed), 1" galvanized metal water main is very old, electrical wiring that is visible is a hodge podge mess, there's an old gas pump on the site (not sure if tanks are still buried), real bad mold in bathroom, at least 3 layers to the foundation (that looks solid still), ugly old wallpaper, cigarette smoke smell, kitchen is a complete gut and remodel, nearly the whole home is.  

Before renting out a unit I have to make sure by asking if anyone smokes cigarettes, marijuana, hookah, etc.

You can rent machines that put out near lethal doses of ozone that use a timer that you set, vacate and then come back hours after the ozone disperses.We've used ozone to get rid of bed bugs, mold, smoke damage, cigarette & weed odors, etc.Recommend you Google how to get rid of meth contamination, so you understand the process and don't get ripped off!

Metal Building maybe $60k, he wanted to keep renting, he was running some sort of part time cigarette or E Cig business out of.
