It’s sad but often people with drug habits and no jobs (at least in my experience).

@Tim Gordon Question: Does a good highway system make it easier or harder for a drug dealer to receive and deliver his "product"?

I saw the other night what looked like drug dealing activity from my window.

While I was chatting with a few tenants in the community this afternoon, I was told that they all suspect one of the units are having drug related activities.

He also suspects drugs are being used but hasn't seen it directly, only heard them talk of it.

High crime rate, drugs, murders, etc.

My question is considering the lowest comp was 950, is it reasonable to offer 400,000. with a two week escrow, As-IS considering the amount of work it needs and the drug/ foreclosure history?

In most cases, you'll get the stay lifted within a matter of days and then you can proceed with your termination and eviction.Exception for drugs or damage to property.

I've seen women with excellent income, credit, and Landlord references but their boyfriend has drug charges, has little income or job stability, and no references because he's been couch surfing before shacking up with this woman. 

There is a safe harbor (sort of) at 2 years with specific use requirements from the IRS but again the safe harbor is not meant to be prescriptive but only descriptive of one period that would be acceptable.Best advice - say your explanation to the mirror.
