My test for if a neighborhood is too "bad": would I be comfortable sending my wife there at night?

One can only hope I never need to test it and that we never get sued haha!

Hi SteveThanks for your comment.You make a good point and I hope you are right but I am not willing to be a test case.I am not qualified to say, don’t do it, just that the government has the resources to prove their point that the subject of the “referral†ultimately paid.

I would be willing to test it for/with you and work with you on it as well.

As mentioned, it might be worth doing some investigating to see if they have consultants/executives in need of a high-end rental.Here are a couple of the companies that are investing in Atlanta;-Gulfstream-Juniper Networks (the are building a 100MM testing facility).

Under the SAFE Act of any other mortgage origination regulation, A loan to a family member is not considered being in the business, which would be the first test, secondly, it's a refi, not a purchase.

If they do that they can not join the world of regular, honest folkswho play by the rules and own a home, unless they show enough to buy.Beware too that those with illegal activities, like drug dealers, will not want to show where money comes from.

My question is that even if the area is rough and has drugs, crime, and should I stay away from those properties because most likely the tenant will destroy the place?

Drugs?

Waterbury seems to be a tough area with lots of vacancy and perhaps some areas where drugs are a concern. the current owner of the property in question is now in jail. this is everything I know about Waterbury.
