The clawfoot tub rotted through because she was using the tub as a garbage can and the trash juice ate through the cast iron!

Not expensive - 18 bucks - but we would have ate the cost if we just handed over the deposit in person.

I have all utilities in tenants name so that only they ate responsible for their utilities.

Everyone thought it was a terrible idea; they wouldn't pay, they'd destroy my house, they'd have strangers over who'd steal from me, and they'd stab me in my sleep while they ate my food. 

It was totally dated and most of the rooms were ate up by termites.

I ended up with a much nicer house almost completely remodeled but had to suffer through a 3 month vacancy period that ate up all my reserves at the time.

She seemed to be a pretty hands-on landlord, she even visited and ate dinner with some of her tenants haha.

Nor did I realize termites ATE UP an entire section of sub-floor where some of Seller's personal possession had been piles. 

I had looked into it before but in every scenario I encountered the caregiver expense ate up the majority of my profits.

They could have been uneducated about other options or maybe the loan officer they refer those loans to ate all of their Oreos that were in the break room while they were on vacation!!
