I've become addicted to all the valuable information and resources this community provides.

Want to start up a new business (which I tend to have an addiction to), then go for it! 

Hey everybody,The insight on these forums is great, every post is insightful, and I’m glad to be a part of it now...I’m addicted to BP now!

😝I suppose that’s what happens in drug-laden areas (seriously like half the Poconos is addicted to either meth or opioids or both.

Many of the city’s problems are interwoven; poverty, homelessness, and drug addiction are likely drivers of the property damage crimes that we experience at significantly higher rates than other comparable cities.

@Chris Davisson I'd love to hear the rationale...Newark is the only real established city and you can stand on the street, throw a rock and hit a heroin addict anywhere in the city...Buckeye Lake had a decent run back to normalcy once the dam was repaired and they stopped the fecal matter from seeping into the water...Granville is a village...college town...0 growth, but a cool spotOther than being a nice drive in the summer on US16 it's about as plain as Ohio cities comeMaybe he is talking about that building shaped like a giant basket...

We have helped active drug addicts, extreme hoarders, and tired property owners of all types by contracting to buy their property and either closing on it and reselling with title or by assigning the contract. 

I'm excited to have been referred to the BP community (and podcast which i've been listening to like an addict recently).

Unsubsidized families with very low income, Drug addicts, recovering drug addicts, very young renters, illegal aliens subject to deportation with no notice, etc... (???)

There must be a lot of money in the business because I am always amazed about how much money he spend on the motel and he tore down a separate house he lived in on the property and build a mansion.As for someone investing who has no experience, I think someone who invests in a hotel or motel should understand that it is a 24-hour business that requires 100% around-the-clock employees willing to work during every major holiday even during the worst weather conditions, storms, or through whatever crises and current events are happening.The business requires several different shifts of workers for the front desk, several shifts of room-cleaning workers since many hotels and motels have guests coming and going 24/7 and they want to re-rent rooms asap, constant room maintenance for plumbing, heating and cooling and the guests come in all shapes and sizes with all sorts of inherent problems when it comes to the things they do both on the property, in the rooms, on the bed linens and then add the dealing with drug addicts, potential prostitution, potential sex-trafficking, potential sexual abuse in general and abuse of a minor, damage to the property, out-of-control parties, lovers having fights on the property and in the rooms, damage and theft to the linens, damage to bedspreads, and damage to the flooring.Since I am a plumbing contractor, many motels and hotels call my company to remove drug addicts' heroin needles stuck in toilet bowls.Before making an investment into a hotel or motel an investor needs to take a serious long amount of time to look at the books to see whether or not business in the area is declining, but since the hotel and motel business is one of the greatest   cash businesses' in this country you can bet that many sellers will make you well-aware that the 'real' income cannot be verified.I did a lot of research for the past 20+ years, looked at more than 100 hotels and motels for sale and declined to purchase most of them due to the decline in sales in most areas they were located in.
