I don't know the details, but I believe a court made a ruling that scared the banks into it... could be wrong about the reason why.Yes I mean one that has passed through the court, the court issued a writ of execution and passed it on to the Sheriff office to sell at a court house step auction.

They are pricier but considering you are remote the cost may be justified.

They make the rules then simply allow tenants to walk without consequence.There is zero point in having lease language that you do not intend to inforce.

@Paul PassafiumeTo learn about the IRA conversion rules see the following:https://www.irs.gov/retirement-plans/retirement-pl...To learn about the 401k conversion rules see the following:https://www.irs.gov/retirement-plans/retirement-pl...

According to the CCA rules and regulations for the city of Cleveland:5:01.I "Any person receiving rental income from any property must file a return whether or not there is any tax due."

The rule sort of says that you don't allow pets, but you do, with a fee.

If you do not inforce rules do not make them.My solution was/is to issue a notice on the 2nd if full rent is not received by midnight on the 1st and tell them that repeated late payments will result in a eviction.

Does the 50% rule include only operating expense, or does it also include debt coverage and taxes as well?

Specifically, you have the ability to avoid passive activity loss rules set by the IRS.What does that mean? 

There are special rules on those.
