Help a Writer: How to Make a Link Between Real Estate and Meth Houses?

Question by joezen777: Help a writer: How to make a link between real estate and meth houses?
I was thinking the bad guys in my story get a plan to steal a real estate agent’s computers so they can find out which houses are for sale on the market but not being lived in. They could then switch between these houses with their meth labs so they didn’t have to worry about outwardly unkempt foreclosure homes. Does this sound believable enough?
So if I just have them park a cleaning van outside? Would that be good enough for the ammonia smell?

It’s actually a believable and a good premise for a story. In real life, criminals do use vacant homes for drug deals, dog fighting, and other illegal activity. The problem has actually escalated since the recent mortgage crisis started.
