Helped a buyer a few years back where a detached garage was likely a grow operation. Lots of power strips & ventilation present. We discussed my suspicions and they agreed bu the went on with the purchase.
Funny thing is, that seller worked as a pharmaceutical buyer for a large company. Any previous grow operations likely preceded her ownership.

Unfortunately for me, that's Nor Cal. I'd buy and disclose. Pot house isn't as bad as a meth house.

"purchased with money wired to the United States by a Chinese-based crime organization "
Do we need better "controls" on how homes on U.S. soil are purchased and who is buying them?
It is not growing that is illegal. It is the moving across state lines that is illegal.
If these homes could not be purchased they way they were purchased then these illegal activities would be thwarted without a place to grow the product.
"The most fascinating part of this scheme is the massive real-estate fraud."

I live in Colorado. We sell MMJ grow houses and 'use' houses often. While not required by law, I do disclose that it was an MMJ house because one day we will have to disclose and I always want to err on the side of caution. I wouldn't touch a meth house.
Having said that, I'm not sure I would list one of these. Talk about a quagmire.

I have not shown or sold a meth house. But my daughter has a rental house and the tenant had a full basement under grow lights. He had all kinds of people coming and going taking care of the garden. Remember it is still illegal in TN and they turned him in.

Fred Griffin
I am familiar with the area as many labor from SF Bay Area has found greener pastures in Northern CA. A couple who came back from that area told me how well they are being compensated for "farming jobs" as opposed to toiling days building or installing... There is a serious shortage of labor here. We only got some old man standing there wanting $35-40 an hour. As for purchase it was just 1-2 agents who made the killings. I presume they will get out monkey house and re-apply for licenses.....

Never sold one but did show a property once that obviously had been used as a grow house. It was a foreclosure and there were no disclosures about the property.

Wow, I'm sure you have to work out the liability issues especially with the meth labs. I think the grow houses stink to high heaven but at least there isn't meth residue in the drywall.

I showed one to some clients. It was comical because the husband was commenting on the amount of outlets in the basement and the metallic foam board on the walls. Finally the wife told him they were growing in the basement...a light went off for him at that point. I'd sell them all day long. 106 homes in this market would be great to have.

I have never, still considered a new agent with under 2 years in the business. however, I am confident that I could confidently sell and market the home with the correct disclosures, and due diligence before listing.

The illegal grow operations need to have a very extension inspection. There are often electrical and plumbing issues - and the presence of mold.
