He tried to punch his way thru their basement window, got cut up badly, and came over to our house and bled all over the back porch and pounded on the door hollering. 

Now that I pound nails I suppose I should still watch it.

@Chris Park I have two dogs over 60 pounds and shepherds.

My best advice is make sure you (or your manager) are screening tenants very carefully on the front end, as they say an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

That sounds like a conditional commitment, and I see two ways to go on this:  1. get repair estimates and negotiate with the seller to leaving an escrow for that, (you can't do work on a property you do not currently own) or 2. tell your current lender to pound sand and get yourself another bank that is more reality-based.

If something befalls you, find someone else to blame and get your pound of flesh. 

Staying consistent, pounding the pavement, direct mail, phone calls, word of mouth.

Remember to screen your applicants well, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. 

For instance I might have a goal of losing 20 pounds.

That is when the landlord could possibly also ask for personal financials and if commercial business financials as well as personal.There is a difference between having the cash and not wanting to spend the cash as a tenant and TRULY having losses and little reserves and needing the landlord to do a temporary workout.I think residential 1 to 2 property landlords and also residential agents could get pounded with this downturn.
