Not a great neighborhood, definitely he scent of drug activity.

However, if you like dealing with drug addicts and gang members, have at it.Secondly, learn the laws regarding condos in your state.

Here's the basic rundown on a potential deal.Couple getting a divorce, husband is drinking/drugging and neither of them are in the house.

Apparently drinking, possibly drugs, not working etc.

I suspect that one of my tenants is dealing drugs from his apartment.

I decided we couldn’t take the risk, and we decided to re-finance the condo.The process for re-financing the condo kinda got drug out, and today we finally signed the paperwork.

My family and friends think im' doing drugs but i know its a gold mine just waiting for me. its like anything else every place has its ups and downs.

I am not talking about traffic violations, I am talking about drug possession / intent to sell, domestic abuse, things like that.

I understand that the seller can have more confidence that the deal will close with someone who puts lots of cash down, but can't those issues be alleviated with an approval letter from the bank (as opposed to just a pre-qualification letter).

It's about $300 and should alleviate all concerns (assuming you removed the mold appropriately).
