Buy Now or Buy Later

I was considering flying out there this weekend to look at properties. I thought I could go ahead and pick one out and buy it....but I then spoke to a friend that lives in NW Arkansas and she was telling me that many of the vacant houses in the area are used by meth heads to hang out and some to actually make meth. I don't want to buy a contaminated house or to buy a house and leave it vacant for meth heads to use in the mean time. So now I am thinking that it may be wise to wait until someone can move in. I am moving out there around March. Josh and Lilith are moving out there around June. I am not sure about Sarah and Jim's time line. Jamie wants in...but is not ready to move out there. Drew will help us build, but I don't know if he wants to live there. Another option is Lilith's Dad. She is going to see what his schdule is like.

I have written the agent to told her how I am feeling about buying property to far in advance.

I have been scouring the interent looking for kits to test if a house has been a meth lab. I haven't found any good ones yet. I guess I need to call the local police or maybe the university could help me get the prespective places tested.
