He said the police get calls reporting suspicious activity all the time, and it's impossible to respond to all of them and you never know which ones are legit and which ones are just using the police to hassle someone they have a beef with.My L.A. police friend recommended 2 ideas -- 1) call the tenant and tell them that the neighbors have called me and they are suspicious of drug activity at the house.

Profit is ALWAYS a by-product, NEVER a direct product.

I wish you luck in beefing up your portfolio.
