I've got about $10k I'm willing to spend, and here's what I've come up with as far as updates go:- Add shelving for grocery storage - there's very little today- Rehab the front porch (you can feel the plywood sink in places as you walk over it)- Repaint the outside of the house (paint is peeling)- Add a fence for the back yard- Add a back door (there's only one entrance/exit to the house)- Pave the driveway on both sides of the tree out front- Add exterior lights to the side and back of house- Update kitchen counters (granite?)

If they can't control there spending (or pay them self first) it's unlikely they will find success as a REI.

I do have to agree with @Chris Seveney that this forum topic is one of the lower trafficked forums, which may make the split not as effective, and instead of breaking them up into their own individual topics it may be more appropriate to dissolve the topic entirely and keep the discussions for Tax Liens and Mortgage Notes under the Real Estate Private Lending Forum.I will leave the topics alone for now, monitor the activity over the next few weeks to see if there is an increased demand in these topics, and keep you informed if there is an update to the topic(s)!

The question is whether your lender will actually call the loan over it. 

File and serve ASAP (hire a process server to file your paperwork over the counter and take it directly from the court to the tenant that same day).First, Nick is likely correct that the tenant is not paying because they have no money to pay.
