We try to stay away from foundation issues and drug homes. 

I've filed evictions for just cause everything from having pit bulls to drug raids with no avail beware of the Stockton City Court system I'm looking for other property owners to do a class action suit for they took money with no intent invicted anybody

For me it's:-A good work history-They meet or exceed the monthly income and credit requirement-No prior evictions/never sued by a prior landlord-No/minimal criminal record - no drug arrests/no violent crimes. 

Be careful, you can't evict someone just because he USED to be a murderer or drug dealer.Focus on the lease violations.

"The Real Secret of Success Choose Your Suffering.Everything you want in life; every goal you want to achieve; every dream you want to manifest: all comes with a price tag.Legitimate success in any endeavor requires that you pay upfront, in full and with your own sweat.There is no other way.To achieve any goal, you must choose the suffering that is right for you.Subsequently, you must live with the consequences of that decision.The moment you choose to not continue to pay the price of success, is the moment you choose to suffer the consequences of failure, which is, the WORST kind of suffering.The suffering cost of failure is ALWAYS higher than the suffering price of success.The cost and consequences of success in a job, relationship, career, or any area can cause a monumental amount of disruption and chaos in your life.Here are some examples of the suffering costs of failure:If you lack financial discipline, you will suffer the consequences of debt, harassing bill collectors and sleepless nights.If you do not manage your diet, you will suffer the cost of diabetes and poor fitting clothing.By not keeping your promises or honoring your commitments, you will suffer the loss of reputation and contaminated character.Sooner or later, each of us must choose to pay the price of success or pay the cost of failure.Sooner or later, you will come to the understanding that you MUST choose your suffering.The price of success is often more than people are willing to pay.

THEN I read in the paper that she has been arrested, with her boyfriend, for distributing drugs. 

It had been a drug house at one point but had since been vacant for years. 

If there was meth or drug use in the house, they might know.Finally, for one property we purchased we went down to the police station and asked them to pull up any records in relation to the property.Maybe the chemistry kits will get you better results, but this is what we have done as part of our due diligenceMike.

I haven't viewed the home yet but the agent said it was a drug house where the insides, while nice have been stripped of everything.
