Homeless/addicts are at every corner.

I don’t know about New York but most states including North Carolina  have enacted an expedited eviction procedure for 10 tenants violating drug laws so just do your routine property inspection and leave a small amount of drugs in a closet ,  then call the police for search warrant which will remove the tenant to jail  The unconstitutional CDC addiction ban does not apply to evictions for anything other than nonpayment of rent 

As mentioned in the original comment we've got a lot of low income rentals...So I don't think Paul can help as I'm looking to avoid hookers, criminals and drug addicts in the STR division.

Drug addicts do this quite often and sell the copper for scrap value so they can get their next fix. 

Some struggle with addiction or mental illness, some are victims of abuse or have life long medical problems. 

I’ve been addicted to the idea of BRRRR but it’s very hard to find distressed properties that need rehab in my market.

@Logan Day it's exciting and addicting for sure!! 

@Josh Worthington welcome to your favorite new addiction!
