Pissed off you have no choice but to pay for 2/3 of the cost.A month later, this Frankenstein'd 17 yr old machine dies out again and the insurance company wants another $99 deposit to come take a look at it a second time.  

With stocks you don't have the choice of buying a nonperforming asset.

But one thing it does seem would be beneficial would be to use an accountant that's familiar with every possible way to deduct your expenses now- someone who invests themselves or works with investors regularly- there may be things that qualify for expenses vs capital improvements that weren't accounted for. 

It is the difference between your adjust cost basis (acquisition +improvements-depreciation) and the net sales price.Your choices for tax mitigation on the sale while staying an investor would be a 1031 exchange. 

Folks seem very willing to dramatically pay more in these “affordable” markets in a feeding frenzy fueled by cheap mortgages and limited choices for house hunters.

My initial thoughts regarding this type of mortgage structuring are that it would be more beneficial when rates are high because there's a better chance that at the end of the initial period you could refinance into an interest rate that is either the same or lower than what you would've obtained.

If they still are silent then you have no other choice but to go with eviction.

While Indianapolis and Cleveland are solid choices, maybe consider some other markets such as Houston, San Antonio, etc.Would love to connect!

This may make your choices more clear.1.

If it was an aesthetic choice of the previous owner, it was a costly one.
