If the courts turn it into a crimminal offense, then law enforcement could get involved.

I would go on the offense and let him know that you are going to pursue reimbursement for: x, x, and x.

Everyone always says oh your a slumlord, and I really don't like that and actually kinda take offense.

As to your comment about disconnecting utilities, every state I have looked into make it a criminal offense if you turn off any utilities, even if the tenant isn't paying you for them. 

Seriously, anything else is a criminal offense.

No offense @Moh Saidbut you should learn to use the search function here on BP and you should utilize Google. 

Not to be offensive, but why would they rely on you to bring them a cash buyer?

Don't take it personal or offensive, but, the fact is, if you had made better choices with regard to the wedding, honeymoon, cheaper rent, car payment, wherever those debts came from (excluding medical) then you could have bought your house pre-wedding and been living there right after the honeymoon.

I should expand on this by saying this particular property was not in offensive condition.

All you can do is state your case, show rehab, good record since the offense, apply and see what happens.
