The police will not go there even if a neighbor calls and says people are breaking in wearing jackets that say "copper thief" on them.

Just be thankful you didn't have commercial property in a place where peaceful people were allowed to blow off some steam and to be heard where somehow your building got burned without whatever special insurance covers riots at a place where the police won't go. 

Fast forward a few months, and the police kicked down our front door in a drug raid.

If someone overstays, I would assume they could call the police to remove them as a trespasser.

There were wild parties nearly every night; windows were broken; the police were there every day.

Did they call the police or did the police raid the house?

The attack happened while the police were inside the condo writing their report!

If you happen to use it for a while in one home you own in your personal name, there is not any IRS police that will be checking your other homes for that item - you are fine there.

They are the most crazy sign policers in the country.

They seem glad to have us there (including the police in the area) as the house prior to our moving in was a drug house where they evicted the tenants (we found many used needles in the back yard, "cooking spoons" found in odd places, and for the first few months of the rental we had knocks on the front door at odd hours from people of less than reputable status).The problem is my wife and I have decided to divorce and she'd like to stay in the rental.
