Assume expenses will consume 50% of your rent, deduct your debt repayment amount and a 10% return on the dead equity.

I told them I would catch up on my sleep when I’m dead.

This is including the rent that the tenant is paying.At this point have I just reached a dead end?

It was eye opening to me because it helped me realize how much "dead space/time" there was during my week.  

And sometimes just a few being brought back from the dead can help "neighbors" start to pick up their junk too.

Or here is another idea, if he is dead set on selling the car and you're dead set on him keeping it then you buy it off him and you can then keep it and in 2 years if you want to give it back to him or sell it back to him for what you paid for it or less than do that.

It's a short, dead end street; just three houses and a mobile home. 

Melissa, Zach hit the nail dead on the head.

BTW, I don't need the 'dead equity' lecture.
