I know some might think it was a bit alarmist, but it is a valid point that few people consider. I live near a small town that consists of a Post Office, a Convience Store (no Gas), a "VW Bug Graveyard," and several homes. They found a meth lab in a rental property with enough explosive waste material to evacuate the entire town for several hours! The owner of that home took a big financial hit later when it was time to complete the cleanup. I also saw a documentary about how meth shut down an entire town - for good! As in board up all the windows, shut down the post office and all the businesses, and leave! I wouldn't entirely shy away from rental property, but I think I'll just stick with my legal services business! With the EPA's "cradle to grave" policy, if the originator of a hazardous waste can not be found, then the owner is liable for all costs, and that is typically very serious money.
