What to look for in a potential grow house?

[RomulusUSA]

Oh yeah, one more thing...a security system.

No. Security systems make people lazy. Properly trained dogs are the best solution, inside a properly fenced yard (all the way around the house so the dogs can roam). You may spend 6-8k on those two dogs if you can't train them yourself, but they will protect you for a decade or more, while being your best friend!

200 amp panel and a landlord that only cares about getting paid, Everything else is yours to fuck up. Its more about how you handle your everyday business and blend in not about having a perfect spot.

I'm already in a 'friendly' house that fell on my lap when I started and years later looking for a new place and thought maybe the people who fucked up before I do (I don't care how many #s you've got under your belt you still fuck up you are only human) could shed some light on things to keep in consideration. I am perfectly capable of doing it myself but it never hurts to do your homework. Obviously I am not gonna take some jackass' advice on the net word for word that's why intelligent individuals like myself piece together information and forms a solution of their own. To those that helped, thank you. To those that wasted my time with 2 pages of holier than thou I don't wanna have him burn a house down from my advice you're not ready bs then why bother posting and bringing down the OP. I thought people used this place to learn? He's gonna do it regardless... why not help him NOT burn his house down?

Basement, cool landlord, no inspections, distant landlord, distance between neighbors, natural barriers (on a hill, trees, bushes, fences around, rivers)

Solid electrical system (can't risk a fire)

Neighbors, low traffic on street, and knowing your local laws, and past court cases of grows of similar size.

Escape route

-Up to date electric service (preferably 200amps)
-A basement or at least a crawlspace (for ventilation needs as well as ease of running electric and plumbing)
-An attached garage (so you can unload supplies out of view)
-A newer oil burner/furnace/hvac system (less likely to need to call the repair guy)
Those are few off the top of my head...but hey, I only run a closet with a 400
