Drugs are rampant in low income areas and many drug addicts will do ANYTHING to get their drugs.

I think since I am new I probably be doing only 1 or 2 flips per month, I would probably not be considered a dealer but an investor.

Long story short, the mother died and left the house to her drug addict son and he lived there for two years with no utilities and no garbage permit. 

I mean, sure there are probably upstanding citizens as well, but downtown Clarksville is the opposite of what we would consider a safe investment. there is a lot of crime concentrated near the river and a lot of drug use.

The idea of higher velocity capital is really appealing, and I myself feel the drug of money-raining-motivated action, but I believe that with patience, diligence, mentoring, and action I can get what I want. 

Hi BP -A friend bought a home about a year ago and in that time discovered the neighbors are drug addicts.

Big issues being drugs, police raids, etc.

Make sure it's not drug dealing money or something like that.

Here's a few reasons why:Travel nurses already go through background checks and drug tests so you know you're getting a reliable tenant.They get paid really well AND get a housing stipend so getting rent paid on time is never a problem.The demand for travel nurses is only increasing with baby boomers retiring, so you'll always have a stream of tenants.For a furnished home (or room) you generally can charge a higher premiumTravel nurses generally work 12 hour shifts and love to sleep as a result... no noise complaints from neighbors.Their contracts are typically 13 weeks. 

YOu will go on a run, make some money, then all of a sudden the dealer will change (in this case the tenant) and you may go on a cold run.
