I'm about 90% sure this should be foolproof for youStep 1: Get a real estate license (should take a couple of months to 3 months) in your countyStep 2: Get into a real estate agency (extremely easy as the requirements are laughable, unless you have a ridiculous criminal history like being convicted for drug trafficking. you wouldnt be here if you did so ill assume you didnt)Step 3: Look for great undervalued cash flow properties or rehab flips (THIS IS THE HARDEST STEP), and then purchase one, either with a friend or trustworthy business partner.

I am looking to find lucrative deals and get them under contract for mainly cash buyers.Aside from investing, I am a volunteer for organizations such as "To Write Love On Her Arms" and "Women In Distress" - I help drug addicts and domestic violence survivors and I also have a strong interest in psychology.I am very excited to join Biggerpockets to network and to learn even more about investing.Feel free to contact me with any questions.

The house produced three gangs (yes three) living under the same roof, chop shop, whore house, girls that had been stolen and trafficked, oh yes and not to mention the gallons of drugs, knives and dozen drug users.

Last straw or not, if there is a serious drug issue, tenants must contact the local drug enforcement office of police--can make anonymous complaint if they wish. 

We pay $520/mo but pregnancy or rehab (drug, alcohol) aren't covered and we have a $6k annual deductible.    

I recently bought a row house in Baltimore, MD, in NE Highlandtown on a somewhat "lively" block (lots of through traffic, regular drug deals, but also kids and people just hanging out and music).

Now walk a few blocks from that area, you get into areas where you wouldn't want to be at unless you are looking for drugs or prostitutes.

Primarily I try to stay away from gangs and areas with visible drug and prostitution activity.

I've heard many anecdotes about investment, but also just as many about drugs/crime in that area, as well. 

If the guest disturb your neighbors in the middle of the night with music or anything, or smoke, or drug or bringing prostitutes to your place, etc... there is no compensation and basically no penalty for the guests.
