We got an offer from... a young lady who knew the neighborhood from her student years and had been looking for a old house and hadn't been considering new construction until her agent drug her out to this house.

She didn't like our no-smoking policy, no drugs policy and our partnership with law enforcement.

Everyone knows that vacant homes lead to squatters, drug dealing, etc.

He says he's lived there for 27 years and is about to list his house and move to a different part of town due to drugs in the area.

But then drug dealers sell junk on the street to people who have great expectations without knowing what they are buying. :)

As such, it has taken a considerable toll on the quality of my life outside of work.While doing some research, I came across this site and was pleasantly surprised at the quality of information that is being provided (for example the Ultimate beginner's guide to RE Investing) and the willingness of participants to provide advice to others.In order to alleviate amount of time that my work consumes, I wanted to investigate going into Private Lending to slowly supplement my income.

I think my course of action will be as follows....IF they submit an app and there are no other areas of concern where I would normally reject them, such as insufficient income, prior evictions, drug/violent criminal charges and so on I will contact my attorney for proper guidance.

Naming a kids room "City Drug Store" is going to be a tough sell to that owner and what if they turn out to be party animals and causing negative attention to their business name?

There are a hundred questions that need to be answered before you know whether its worth the risk.I would walk away if I had drug dealers hanging out on the corner or if the numbers did look right.
