Anyway, it is smarter for the bank to eat that loss instead of writing it off as bad debt in their book and foreclosure cost money.  

Thanks, I am strongly considering that, it would ultimately mean a $500 loss to me for attorney's fees

Make sure your vacancy loss is worth the rent increase.

An insured bank CD will only result in a loss if the entire US economic system collapses.  

The first option is each building will have a separate limit and that is the most you will get for that building in the event of a total loss.

Should, can I file these losses for 2015 or should I wait until I have a profit to write off? 

I've been reminding myself lately not to put too much weight on statistics.

They tried to sell the house before they left but could not sell it without taking a loss, so they decided to rent it.

A quiet title action will update the chain of the title to include that reasonable steps were taken to assure that the previous had ample opportunity to dispute the loss of ownership to the HOA.Does this sound like pain in the butt, extra expenses and delays?

My house would sell at a loss right now, so I plan to hold it for a few years until the market in Jacksonville catches up to the huge amount of over-development that drove home prices down.
