The property will be cash flowing as soon as the remodel is over and has space for one large extra unit on the lot or two small units on the lot.

Vs her current super-chill life, get's special discounts all over the place for being "too poor" and all the while can work cash jobs when wants extra, keeps her bank account low, plays the game to get here "free ride". 

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

Is the extra headache really worth it? 

In a perfect situation, the payment will still be delayed (even if by hours) using this additional system.And secondly, many of these vendors have "clawback" provisions where, in their terms of service, you give them permission to go back into your account - even weeks after the fact - and reverse a deposit that was made by your tenant.My system is simple, allows for tenants to pay through multiple means, and does not cost me anything extra.

I want to upgrade my house up a notch in the couple years and get a couple little extras like that.  

, I went to extra lengths to make sure that you wouldn't take my post as a personal attack by starting by mentioning that I agree with what you wrote and concluding by mentioning that the sole purpose of my post was to make sure that yours wasn't intentionally misleading.So, over the form, my suggestion as an elder of the forum would be for you to not take everything personally and, if you still think you're being personally attacked (it can happen to everyone), read the post again and make sure you don't misinterpreted what the author meant before publicly complaining about him/her.Most importantly, over the content, you're correct that the Costa del Sol isn't the whole of Southern Spain. 

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

You can also request a security deposit for extra peace of mind. 

If they have nowhere to go or don't know how to find a next place, and no relatives who are helping them, you will be the only person that goes the extra step to help (even with advice) which means you will get the sale at a better price and help someone.
