However, this issue may get more complicated in states that have medical marijuana.

As far as the marijuana smoking goes, they may be breaking the law, but proving it would be difficult.

Despite the fact that you'd think cities like Ankeny would demand a huge premium for housing prices, I've found that you can get a much nicer house in a much nicer neighborhood that's been built far more recently for $200,000 or so than what that same money can buy in Newton - and that's sort of peculiar to me.  

So this 'apartment building' in my market has been for sale for about 6 months now and it's very peculiar.

Second, real estate here is VERY influenced by the marijuana growing.

In a week I only saw two dumpsters in the front of places which seemed peculiar for the SLC metro area.

If you are renting to anyone in the marijuana business you should be very careful. 

I have investors who opt for one or no inspections at all and then they are screwed when they find out that the tenant has a 100lbs pitbull that nobody knew about or that they are growing marijuana in the basement.

First, they'd legalize marijuana in Illinois...then they'd tank the economy. 

HOA have toabide the law and rules as well as homeowners, landlords and tenants.HOA have to address complaints made by other homeowners who aresuffering from your tenants repeated loud noise and repeated badbehavior of (odor – I assume is smoking cigarette and marijuana)that harm other residents.
