Not your concern as far as the legal stuff, although I'd want to know what the issue is in case it could have some liability for you in the future (drugs, illegal home business).

When you are next door to a gang hangout or a drug house or there is a shooting in front of your house (or any number of situations), it affects your valuation.

I have drug my feet for a year now being scared.

They are willing to live closer to the riff-raff for great rent rates, but don't have to deal with their immediate neighbors having drug deals, loud arguments, or other high drama.Hope this helps.

I grew up in a broken home and ultimately turned to drug addiction to self medicate.

I won't be drug into their drama.

Ask your lender for his latest drug test.

A quite neighborhood at 12:00 noon might be a rowdy neighborhood with obvious drug traffic after dark.You say 2-3 streets away is mostly occupied.

Further, much of the crime problems can be linked to illegal immigrants and drug cartels.

An eviction is planned for next week due to non-payment and an assortment of run-ins with the police.Not sure what the cost will be to get the place cleaned up and back on the market (doors broken in, glass in the oven door shattered, possible drug use), but I do hope to try again and learn from the lessons of this first experience.
