___________________________One benefit to not being in a med state is that growers aren't something landlords have on their radar. These days every rental on the west coast is on the lookout for growers, probably colorado is the same way. Oklahoma, indiana, new york etc. . . Probably not something that even crosses their mind unless you have dreads, a bob marley shirt and bloodsht eyes when you show up. I would think the main thing you want is distance. Between the property and where your landlord lives. If they're within an hour away you're going to be seeing them more often compared to further away. Second, or maybe tied for first actually is religious nuts. You definitely don't want Jesus freaks controlling your life in any way like the place you live. They will make your life hell in the mistake belief they are trying to save you. Third, neighbors. If I were in a non legal state I wouldn't want to be within sight of any neighbors I'd be way out in the country on a farm with some animals to be my cover. Set up some beehives and sell honey and goat milk on the side or something. I would be sketched out renting from someone who seems like they are in on their own game, whether they look like stoners or cokeheads. If they are into drugs or anything they will eventually want a cut of what you have as a thank you for letting you rent their place. Too many stories I heard in the triangle of landlords thinking they were entitled to an extra thousand a month, 20% of harvests or more when the shit wasn't even illegal. If it's illegal they can blackmail you hardcore, definitely I wouldn't risk that.
I have had several landlords who "change the agreement" after things are going well and 1/2 way done (and too late to stop).
Demand money and steal from harvests. It is tough. Go 100% stealth which I don't know how to do correctly, or get a cool landlord who doesn't smoke.
If your landlord smokes, he may want quite a bit. Oh, and don't live with an MMA fighter who doesn't smoke.
