I'm a new-comer from Australia, working in China with my Mexican wife.

The creditors at least knew he was not saddled with any debt payments at that point.If they were let go due to lifestyle issues (playing their music too loud, constantly refusing to cooperate with the landlord over maintenance issues, whatever), there might not be a public record on the matter.

We've shifted to a buyers market and the music has stopped on a lot of listings.

Ideally a low maintenance property as at this point in my life (two wonderful young girls, a day job, and an active composer/arranger of music) I don't have a lot of time but I do set aside focused time to build my real estate portfolio.  

As it is right now, you can’t really hear much in terms of voices, music, etc.

Escaped rattlesnakes, fires, loud music, etc. 

He bought it in the Winter and by the time the warm weather rolled in, lots of drug dealing which was happening inside those residences, came outside to enjoy the weather.Eventually, people pulled up with SUVs with loud speakers playing all kinds of unsavory music, drug dealing was done constantly in the open.

He does use green card mexican labor, but they aren't exactly that cheap at $200/day. 

But there is also creativity, cool programing, businesses moving in, a music festival that attracted 14k+ people to one block in one day last summer, etc etc etc. 

We have a musical family and a music room was done that way to keep momma happy.
