No point in making mad returns to only find yourself fat, stressed and divorced.

I also have no other complaints of slamming the common door aside from this tenant A complaining about tenant B. 

If those are the annual figures, wish the current owner the best of luck, but no one can profitably help.But it seems more likely from the language that @Keith Agnello used in the first post (and some common financial sense) that those are the current balance figures (meaning the owner is delinquent), and that represents something more than the annual figures plus some late fees, interest, etc.

Any common telltale signs to look out for?

This was a common problem in Charlotte.

That's a common scam.  

Personal guarantee is common.

I would never pay trash and utilities in a SFH unless it was very common in the area.

Get three meters if you have any common area lighting like hallways and entries, or if you have one heating system that uses electricity, or if you are required to have some type of fire alarm system.
