"(insert how much they must pay you to make it ok).3)  "My friend's dog ate my homework" - it might actually be her dog. 

Great result either way.I ate the tax on a flip last year. 

2) Be clear on process and follow it to a tee every time.  

A complete file means that wherever something is missing (like a W2) there is a corresponding short note that says something like "my dog ate my W2s".

This year I ate dinner 6 times with (I think) will be the next Gov of Wisc.

As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up.

i did mediocre on purchase price, was about dead on, on rehab cost (took too long, though), and then held the property for so long that i ate 100% of my profit on mortgage and utilities.

IIRC for every 10,000 forcible detainers FILED, about 2500 deadbeats actually show up in court, about 50 of those mount any kind of "defense" that might earn them a "stay of execution".Of the 2450 that "lost", fewer than 50 are still around when the constables show up (one day before actual moving day-to avoid hassles) to warn them the "the truck is coming tomorrow" and maybe 10 of them are still around when the truck comes.My tenants always KNEW I meant business, so I've only ever been in court 4 times, only ever had ONE tenant show up, she mounted a "dog ate my homework" defense, the judge said, "all cash wins-out you go" and they moved on Friday and Saturday.

However, communications with the bank were slow and uncertain and as a result they kept tacking on late fees and penalties which ate up a good portion of his good faith payments, such that he is still NOT good –in fact he’s 90 days and some $18K in arrears.

When I walked through the house to look at it the dogs definitely used the bathroom in the garage and chewed up 75% of the trim throughout the house and my dogs while inside by themselves they ate through the drywall in a few places in the house and this is where my biggest concern is that mold from the dogs urinating on the walls and the moisture seeping in and not being noticed and mold growing from there.
