Rhode Island Non-resident Landlord Filing

[Lisa Tam]

I just purchased a multi family in RI and they have a law that requires me to file a non-resident landlord filing and assign a registered agent that is in state.  Does anyone have any experience with this?  I have a friend that also own a property in RI with a similar situation and pays her attorney to file and use his address as the registered agent.  I searched online and found a website strictly for registered agents for $50/year.  I'm leaning towards this route but would love feedback.
