He didn't drink and didn't smoke and didn't use drugs.  

What I find interesting is that drug laws have stayed on the books as long as they have.

But, you definitely get the red-carpet treatment for your first property.

Real estate get preferential tax treatment (vs. ordinary income). 

LENDER REQUIRED REPAIRS AND TREATMENTS: Unless otherwise agreed in writing, neither party is obligated to pay for lender required repairs, which includes treatment for wood destroying insects.

A new teacher had to rent a studio in a  multi-family house considered a "drug house."

The neighbor just placed a note on my renter's door stating that they are starting termite treatment on a shared wall.

I feel like talking to a drug dealer when talking with them. 

I'm expecting to get about $1,800 per month in rent.Questions: Is there any way we could get the sellers to pay for the termite bonding/treatment, especially considering that they tried to hide them? 

If you are a real estate professional and more specifically, if the income generated from selling this property would be classified as ordinary income you would have a completely different treatment.
