So I just called Comcast and they tried to convince me that I was paying the correct rate, but I told them I had a screenshot of their promotional rate at $39, which is what I signed up for.

It doesn't do them or the community any good if you let them think someone will bail them out of every occurrence. 2) Spend it all by doing good:Once you have provided for your responsibilities give the excess in a way that promotes what you think is important. 

@Clint W. would collect a 2% fee of all income generated.All remaining income is split at a ratio that is decided ahead of time: 50%-50%, or 70%-30%, etc.So for example:Investor A invests $100,000.00 for a property as a silent partner / equity partner.The property nets $15,000.00 annual cash flow.Investor A would start with $10,000.00 annual return (10% of invested amount)Chris would collect $300.00 (2% of total income)The remaining $4,700.00 would be split based on the agreement - say it's a 50-50 split, so $2,350.00 to both parties.At this point Chris is getting $2,650 per year, or roughly 17% of the annual cash flow.The investor is making $12,350.00, which is a 12% ROI for them.I've found that this sort of partnership agreement works smoother, promotes successful management, and is an incentive to improve the property.I'm sure there are other - and quite possibly better - options that others can suggest.

Pretty much all HELOCs come with a promotional rate as long as you basically set up auto pay. 

My first guess is that somebody is in the background helping her and promoting her to the media.

Open an advertising account.For your audience select ages:18-25Studies at -> either select the schools you want or leave blankeducation: some college, high school (don't want to market to high school drop outs)promote a post to this audience.

Best just to pay and be done.People tend to follow the advice of the "gurus" (including podcasts), many of whom use scare tactics to instill a sense of fear in us, and then find themselves in the same situation you're in... owning a property in an LLC, and finding out you can't litigate even the simplest of matters without hiring an attorney to represent the LLC in court.Thank the gurus and podcast authors who systematically promote half-truths (the benefits of their ways without even a mention of the down-sides) for this.  

Rules and Guidelines are in place to promote good things not because one is a nosy landlord.

It didn't turn out so bad for me, free education, promoted from E-1 to O-3 in under ten years, Did I mention I get to drive a 13K ton ship through 20 feet of ice in Antarctica!

The persons selling this system might promote it working most of the time but I know nothing about them either way positive or negative.
