My policy is no drug related, property related or violent felonies. 

due to drug manufacture. this may be a deal breaker for my wife.

I had section 8 tenants involved with drugs and prostitution.

Not sure if a bankruptcy would change the parameters or not but that may be a better option for the seller. yes if the bank reports the debt as forgiven.. there is an IRS form though you can file with your tax's that says your broke.. then you don't own the tax's on the forgiven amount.. during the crisis IRS postponed this so no one got that treatment but that sunset and now short sales or debt forgiveness needs to be calculated …. the forgiven debt is tax as ordinary income so a 1 mil forgiveness could be a 300 to 400k tax bill..

In Glassboro at least, its incredibly ****** market to rent to families, alot like chewing on glass, it may be different for other college towns of course, but Ive had to evict 1 family, and the other, they had a drug operation (found out from neighbors) and a family of 5 plus the family of 3 I rented to living out of the house.

Aside from this, there was hint at some drug problems in areas outside Milwaukee. 

It was seized by the US government (drug bust) and I have no access to prior leases etc.

Additionally, I'm not certain but I believe that every penny of withdrawal taken out of a (non-Roth) 401k/IRA during retirement is taxed at your ordinary rate, which is likely to be higher than tax preferred treatment of real estate.
