Quote:The best way to set up a place like the fome in secret is not to buy it, but to rent it under the table. There are lots of live/work loft spaces being rented out in Portland, and not all of them are on the books. People living in them get their mail from PO Boxes, and all the utilities are in the name of the building owner.
Nick wouldn't be able to buy that entire factory complex on what he would have gotten from selling the house anyway. The fome is about one third of the top floor of a three-story factory building, plus its attached warehouse that is being used as a garage.
So you are saying some one would rent to a police detective off the books. It is one thing if Nick associates with people into corrupt practices. But renting to Nick off the books. Would be like selling pot to a detective.
