@Danielle E. that is absolutely the right way to do it.

., I own a few long-term rentals in my personal name, and my accountant files them on schedule E (1040) as supplemental rental income.

What's the lesser of the evils-- wait it out, and see how the properties fare with new tenants (I feel like I've done that twice already, lol) or suck it up, take my losses and get the H-E double happy-sticks out of this mismanaged and headache-ridden town, having paid a hefty 95k price tag for this hard-knock life lesson?

On larger loans you can get non-recourse and more weight is dependent on the property cash flow than your net worth.

I just have them respond via the anonymous craiglist e-mail and give my first name.

Worth real 70% deals are very, very hard to come by,,but I will say, I have had a short sale under contract since last November, and got an e-mail today it is about ready to close (now I have to get ready on my side,,,I never thought it would close)they do exist,,,but I would jump on an 85% deal for buy and hold now, and that would cash flow in my area

Thanks @Bob E. .  

Should they appropriate utility cost by body weight rather than headcount?  

The utility of ROI, where we take the net profit and divide into the cost basis is not really the financial analysis you want to put weight on.

Attempting to evict anyone due to their weight could be considered discrimination in some states.One idea that pops into mind is perhaps if the tub area does have water damage and needs to be pulled out anyway for repairs is to perhaps install a shower with a seat instead.
