BP,I came across the following news article at: http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2015/04/02/364225...In summary, a Wisconsin landlord is holding a young tenant liable for the cleanup of bio-HAZMAT from when the police shot and killed a friend of the tenant who was staying at the apartment.I'm curious for BP's thoughts on what is the correct way to handle this situation.

You need to have a mailing campaign of 4-7 mailings to the same group, not just one shot and see what happens.You might want to bank on $2150 x 5 or 6 mailings.

I just have to figure out the proper way to work it out..Last year I shot myself in the foot by declaring 'unreimbursed business expenses' that were actual expenses. 

You seem like a long shot at best.

The more details the better shot you have I think.

I'd say you would have a better shot at $69,000 60% ltv on the $115,000 ARV.

Should have told me that before we ran the check.Here's the problem, if they had told us about the eviction, and been up front about it - we could either have saved the application fee being wasted, or taken a view whether to continue on it, which we might well have - as I said, he was a nice genuine guy.But by not disclosing it his credibility was shot.

I seriously doubt I could recreate that timeframe in today's market, because I was buying during the "crash," and then rents shot up.  

Hey thanks @Nick Thomas I'll give them a shot...
