A strong Op Agreement will cover the Ds - death, divorce, disinterest, drug use, default, etc. and how capital shortfalls and draws are to be addressed.  

My conviction was over 10 years ago (drug felony) and i have been off probation for over a year.

Not much if any; drugs or violence.I'd list the buildings address, but I'm not sure that that's OK on the forums, so I'll just give a description.The building is on a dead end street with a school at the end (my elementary school =) Another building across the narrow street with houses lining the rest of the block up to the school.

My day job is doing the pre-employment drug screens for people to enter the gates at the refinery. 

If you decide to buy drugs instead of paying your rent, the government is there to support you with a free low-life, scumbag legal aid lawyer and landlord-tenant laws that favor the deadbeat!

This property only has one retail space, which was a drug store for years who recently moved into a new, bigger building.

Looking on GoogleMaps, I can't get down the narrow street that the property is located on, but the general area doesn't look like a drug-gang cartel area.

Congrats on defeating the facebook drug but what is your next step with these properties?

Giving the situation I've been willing to work with her but she has people in and out of the house and I can tell there is heavy drug activity.

But check out the Drug Dealing Tenant thread for a bad experience.At beset, the rental income will reduce your cost of living in this location.
