There have been all the usual problems; I walked 1 fellow off a job site for using drugs, walked another off for being dumb and screwing up the last step in a project etc etc.

No gun shots/drug deals on the corner etc.

Top thoughts are; Drug money and scam.

It was a drug addled area of lack-luster landlords and the town is Extremely cooperative - as they see it is being cleaned up as we rehab and re-rent well.

Original loan was 570,000.00 it foreclosed and I guess went back to the lender for 1,515,000.00 (what it says on the zillow report) the house is vacant now but there was an eviction that led to a major drug bust.

After we removed the hoard and evicted the drug dealers, I found three awesome families with good credit and jobs.

I thought only drug dealers have pit bull, and a normal citizen doesn't need a pit bull.

Take the six months it would take you to repay the money and learn for yourself.I hope youre not the kind of person that watches commercials on TV and go arguing with your doctor how much better for you it would be to get the drug from the TV commercial versus what he's been prescribing for you that's been working just fine.

In Dallas years ago an apartment in a war zone was renting out units, requiring more money if you were going to sell drugs out of the apartment,,,they not only threw the owner in jail (because obviously he was gaining financially by the drug selling since he was charging more), they took the apartments (it was 10-20 units)If someone is doing something illegal in one of your rentals, and you don't do anything about it, you could be charged for being involved,,if you don't know, thats a different story, but if you know and 'look the other way', you are asking for trouble.
