If that is what is desired from the consumer.

I avoid consumer debt but use debt for houses.

I think the other poster was assuming you were talking about consumer debt . 

To further that mission, we've managed P&L as a portfolio (vs. individual properties), consistently investing in substantial, necessary and voluntary enhancements over decades: new sewer systems, new HVAC, improving drainage, upgrading appliances, adding new porches, etc.  

I fully intend to utilize all available resources here to continue to enhance my RE knowledge. 

If you are the one selling the property, it is time consuming. 

The only thing is it would be a little time consuming to make sure you get all the nails out.

We now know that SC consumer laws do not allow for wage garnishments, so the lawsuit will be primarily to give us warm fuzzies, rather than money, so it's a lower priority at this time...unless, of course, it helps our case with USAA?

Thank you guys I appreciate the feedback Bill Gulley I will study the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act some more.
