Part of its politics, part of it's the cycle of drug use, poverty, teenage pregnancy, violence, etc that in turn leads to high unemployment, poor schools and blight. 50 years of poor tax revenue have left the city with crumbling infrastructure.

Every single one was a drug dealer and all were legally evicted.

Drug growers are looking for a landlord who won't come around.On the credit report, they should not have charge accounts, paid up, that are way over what they should be able to afford on the salary that they are declaring.

I arrived 3 days after a large drug bust had occurred at the home. 

(I have had tenants turn the AC off when they move out or the heat in winter)- We require they have someone check on the property if they leave it for more than 5 days (This is to make sure there are no water leaks or HVAC issues that lead to problems while they are gone)- No businesses can be run from the property (to prevent day care, laundry services, gambling, drugs or who knows what)- We specify yard care includes week spraying and cleaning up sticks less than 1" in diameter (otherwise tenants think yard care is mowing only)- We state that tenants utilities can be used for routine maintenance or repairs (I once had a tenant complain the roofers were using his power for their compressors)- We have a whole section on mold stating that mold is naturally occurring and results from excess moisture.

Often, it involves criminal activity like using it as a drug house. 

So, invested her money into apartment buildings and because she got off drugs I gave her a house worth $900,000, today.

I do the pre-employment drug screens and that's how I find tenants.There is another guy in town that rents houses to college students that are in the lineman program. 

@Fernan NavaWhile I think that certain parts of Mexico are great places to invest in real estate, I'll be the first to acknowledge that this beautiful country has a serious problem with crime and corruption, mainly related to drugs.

Unfortunately with this property I "inherited" a slow-paying tenant, an eviction where the tenant waited until the last minute to move out, followed by the realization that the property was a drug house, 40 man hours of cleanup... then the two break-ins.
