Thankfully, my lender repackaged it to Freddie Mac but kept all the original terms we agreed upon and ate the cost which I'm very thankful for. 

So I "ate" 5 weeks of vacancy while they did their thing before our unit was "approved."

But coming with $10K in cash to the closing table because the appraisal came low already ate up the rent guarantee benefits.  

We rose with the sun and ate supper after dark.

Sorry...those tables looked fine, when I pasted them in, but BP ate them. 

(according to @Brandon Turner - LOL).The worst deal of my investing career is a 36-unit apartment in OH that has a BOILER that ate up all my cashflow.

I heard a leak and after some detective work and cutting open the back of my kitchen cabinet I finally have located a few pin holes at the bottom of a kitchen copper drain line.These pin holes unfortunately are impossible to patch in that the cause is corrosion and is almost always caused by tenants or previous owners sending hazardous chemicals like Draino down the line and those chemical sat at the bottom and ate at the line and eventually you get holes.

A last minute and unexpected (almost) collapse of the septic tank ate up $3k.

That lasted about 18 months and ate up about 20k of hard earned dollars and I spent more time working at that than when I was butcher working 60-70 hour weeks and made less than 10k total.

We ate wondering if we could score a couple more properties this way without going through banks.
