Has anyone here rented from Blake Hamilton or Hometown Hero Properties?

I’m considering renting a home from them and would appreciate hearing about your firsthand experience with him or the company. What are some of your guys recommendations for other reputable private landlords or rental companies in the Cincinnati area. I’m having a hard time finding reviews on private companies & landlords.

I’m starting to dislike my FMIL… Started to go downhill once we got engaged.

I’ve been engaged for a year now and have been with my fiancé for three years. Before our engagement, my future mother-in-law seemed somewhat normal, but ever since we got engaged, her behavior has become increasingly bizarre and overbearing.

When we were buying our house, I invited both of our families to the home inspection. This was our first time buying a house and our families first time seeing the home. The inspector found nothing wrong with the property, but my future mother-in-law was insistent that something was wrong with the deck. She became extremely aggressive when I told my fiancé that she didn’t need to bring her father over to look at it because he was not a contractor so nothing could be done if he did find something wrong with the deck. Ultimately, after a complete breakdown over the situation screaming and cursing, her father still came to inspect it and found absolutely nothing wrong.

The night of our engagement, she sent me a photo of a full-on white wedding dress she was planning to wear. It had a long train and looked like something a bride would wear, not the mother of the groom. I told her it was far too white. After being told not to buy anything that resembled white, she instead bought an ivory, floor-length sequined gown that honestly looks more like a wedding rehearsal dress for an older bride.

She also sent me a text about the fact that we are not providing beer and wine at the wedding that said, “You realize you will lose several guests before dinner if beer is not provided. I get not paying for an open bar, but people are not staying for a free soda.” I never responded because the message rubbed me the wrong way.

Later that same week, she told my fiancé that she was not going to come to our wedding because we had not booked a DJ or sent out invitations yet, and that our wedding was going to be “shit” and “half-assed.” Then, 30 minutes later, she texted him the song they were going to dance to at the wedding.

Another thing that really bothered me happened at a graduation party we attended. Multiple people some I had never even met kept coming up to us and asking how wedding planning was going. Every time someone brought it up, my future mother-in-law would change the subject and start talking about how much she wished her son would just move back home, how she needed him, and how she wanted him to come back and live with her. It felt incredibly inappropriate and honestly made me feel like she was trying to undermine our relationship and our future together.

At this point, I’m starting to feel like shes a weirdo who’s in love with her son. Am I wrong for starting to dislike my future mother-in-law? What do you think of this situation?

FMIL is wearing a bridal gown to my wedding.

The night I got engaged my future mother-in-law sent a white dress that she was going to wear to our wedding. I specifically told my fiancé to tell her not to get anything that resembled white fast-forward to three months ago she had sent me a photo of a white gown pictured above I did not know how to say no so I said it looked good. She told me the color was champagne upon reverse image searching I found that it’s actually a bridal gown from anthropology and cost $400. The photo she sent. It looks extremely white. My wedding dress is also ivory so it’s the exact same color as her dress. I just don’t know what to do. I don’t wanna tell her she can’t wear it anymore and not be able to get a refund on her dress. But I’m also upset that she lied to me and bought a wedding rehearsal dress. What should I do?

Is my future mother-in-law a mother-in-law from hell?

I’ve been engaged for a year now and have been with my fiancé for three years. Before our engagement, my future mother-in-law seemed somewhat normal.

However, things started to change when we were buying our house. I invited both of our families to the home inspection. The inspector found nothing wrong with the property, but my future mother-in-law was insistent that something was wrong with the deck. She became extremely aggressive when I told my fiancé that she didn’t need to bring her father over to look at it. Ultimately, after a complete breakdown over the situation, her father still came to inspect it and found nothing wrong.

Fast forward to the night of our engagement: she sent me a photo of a white dress she was planning to wear to the wedding. I told her it was too white, so instead she bought an ivory dress that was the same color as my wedding dress. Then she sent me this text regarding the fact that we are not providing beer and wine at the wedding: “You realize you will lose several guests before dinner if beer is not provided. I get not paying for an open bar, but people are not staying for a free soda.” I never responded because the message rubbed me the wrong way.

Is this appropriate for FMIL to wear or is it too white?

The dress is appropriate for a mother but I’m concerned it’s too white what are your guys opinions? (I’m the bride)

Edit- I was told the dress was champagne, the dress is listed on the bridal section of anthropology and is ivory( the same color as my wedding dress)
It costs $400 and I told her it was okay because I didn’t know how to say no and believed the color was more of a gold based on her word. Now I’m starting to regret saying it was okay and don’t want to take my word back, and not be able to get her money back. I’m beyond stressed

What happens if I don’t pay this?

I’m from out of state and parked in a “public parking” lot for 5 minutes to walk inside a hotel to come out to this. Will anything happen if I decide not to pay it.
