Julie Marquez I also grew up with a scarcity mindset and have driven my husband crazy going from store to store looking for the best deal. Now I give myself a monthly "allowance"-this has really helped me to have freedom from this "disease", which can affect your life (and those around you). Best of luck in your quest to find what works best to free yourself from this.

I have the opportunity to purchase a property by assuming the mortgage and the seller doesn't want to involve RE agents. Our family lawyer tried to talk me out of putting our first property into a LLC (which I had already established and determined to use), so I would rather find someone who works with and understands RE investing.

Any recommendations and advice?

Mahalo in advance!

@Mike Dymski - that is absolutely gorgeous - what is the color?

@Michael Herr - thanks for the detailed advice; especially about not using glue-less sheet vinyl!

Have a B+ condo with carpet in living area that needs to be replaced-what's your favorite flooring? Do you stick with traditional colors (browns) or do tenants like the modern grey trend?

@Chad Carson

Coach Carson, thank you so much for contributing to this thread. I follow you and know you invest in Clemson SC.

I will take your advice and change my instructions to the PM.

@Rick S. - thanks for that article regarding SC law; very informative.

The tenant is on a month to month lease; I've informed the PM to notify the tenant that if rent and late fees are not received by 5pm Friday, Oct 28, that 30 day notice would be given.

The rental property is located in SC.

Thank you everyone for your answers!

According to the property manager, they forwarded the information to the bad check division of the sheriffs' office, who will send a letter giving the tenant 10 days to pay. They have been in phone contact with the tenant, reminding her that she has this outstanding bill.

At first this response from the property manager seemed overly harsh, but I've learned that the tenant is being manipulative, telling the PM she had surgery but today posted on FB that she was working.

get some music jamming!! that always helps with tedious tasks

Tenants' check was returned for NSFs. Property manager said they turned in paperwork to officials that if tenant didn't make the check good within so many days she would be arrested!

In all my reading on BP and numerous books on REI - I've never heard of this approach being used.
