The Federal Government can Trump the states.Marijuana is still a Schedule 1 drug (LSD, Cocaine, etc) for some reason.

My question is this: How do you organize/summarize location characteristics (i.e. crime, drugs, schools, unemployment, population growth, etc.) for each of the properties that I have found in a way that makes it easy to compare and contrast those properties? 

Saturday, I found a tenant allowing her 'boyfriend' to provide a drive up drug delivery service from her apartment .

Even if you miraculously pulled a deal out of a hat, found a buyer, and it actually closed, it would be weeks before you get paid from it.Outside of robbing a bank or selling drugs I can't think of a way to make $1500 that quickly.

What’s the general consensus on homes that were prior drug productions?

But for people who actually care about running a property in a low income area, renting to registered humans is a far better investment than renting to someone who has a history of drugs or gangs. 

Had a guy not show up for work and gave him a welfare check, I found him unconscious and unresponsive due to a drug overdose. 

On top of that, what if all of a sudden you need a new roof, or windows, or a sewer line, or the irrigation system freezes, leaks and floods the basement, or a fire guts the place and your insurance only covers some of the vacancy/rebuild costs, or a flood washes it away and you didn't have flood insurance, or your tenant stops paying and their estranged lover/stiffed drug dealer breaks in and destroys the place, or any one of a myriad possible bad things happens because you have an investment that hinges upon human behavior, and therefor needs constant baby sitting, and 5 years of your glorious $500/month is wiped out in one afternoon, and the bank takes the property?

Like many military bases the surrounding town is normally small rinky dink with civilians trying to take advantage of military members (loan sharks, auto dealers, gang members, and drug dealers)  Your properties will probably be relatively stagnant due to it only being a military base. 

In Florida, Teen killed in motorcycle accident  ( highly suspect that his plan to claim on insurance went awry and strong prescription painkillers involved).Single person occupancy and he was the only person on lease.He was in the midst of moving out, but left behind starving animals, drug paraphernalia, junk.Now multiple strangers are driving around and selling off his 6 vehicles and have been staying in the house after his death.
