How can I be sure it has not been a meth lab in the past?

I've been working in different biochemistry labs for the past 5ish years and just like my career in science, I can do all the research I want, but I really only learn by getting my hands dirty and physically doing the work.

Cash,Sorry to hear about Beauty.Had a Shepard/Lab mix named Bandit.

If you want to be scared then look at meth labs.

Contractors (such as they are) are just CHEAP in some areas.Got a friend that just bought a 3 flat for next to nothing in Indiana, and another investor that just got hold of a $1.6MM multi-family property (valued at $1.6)-- 100% owner financed and the positive cash-flow is a little over $9K per month.Another guy is buying all over the place- not meth labs, either- for $5,500 ; $8,000 and getting crazy prices- rehabbing them for $3,000 to $15,000 and getting $30K and up.

The bad part is that they have 3, 5 yr old black labs.

My field is chemistry, but I have always been interested in real estate and business, and i'm a natural born salesman (at least that's what everyone says).

Companies like Intel, Coke, Abbot Labs, 3M etc. tend to be the top dogs in their respective fields.

What if your rental gets quarantined for 4 months because it was turned into a meth lab?
