Homes formerly used as grow ops drastically lose their market value. Are these homes a good deal for home buyers? I would say a number of these homes would definitely be a good deal. In fact some old homes may be worse deals than former grow ops. However, the fact that the house was used as a grow ops calls for you to be extra cautious.

As a buyer, the first thing you need to know is whether the house is structurally sound. If it is not, you would not want to continue with the deal. If it is structurally sound, the next thing you would want to know is the level of both biological and chemical pollutants. It is strongly recommended that you seek professional help before committing yourself to the deal.
