Two benefits to first class 1) faster delivery, 2) free forwarding and return, 3) a belief that it is more likely to be looked at by recipient.

What is the best way to transfer accumulated wealth to desired recipients (spouse, children, family and charities) to maximize the amount transferred, minimize the cost of that transfer (and planning) and perhaps minimizing taxes.Lots of people make no plans and Uncle Sam (and sometimes the state) end up being a major beneficiary of this wealth.

For example, a Medicaid recipient's primary residence is exempt from Medicaid eligibility and can be gifted away without detriment and without regard to the look back.

They will have to deal with the state vs. federal question as the recipients are getting federal money funneled through state programs.

I even had a Section 8 recipient/tenant who earned her bachelors & masters in her fields of choice.

Brian:I do like the idea of providing transactional funding and have done it one occasion - the recipient was not a wholesaler, but a rehabber who got over ambitious on his commitments and could not swing everything in his pipeline ... but keeping his reputation untarnished was worth the cost of bridge funding.The issue I see is that I would not extend funds to most of the wholesalers with whom I have had contact for many of the reasons illustrated above: they simply do not have their act together sufficiently to give confidence the monies would be repaid.  

As for share your credit it is perfectly safe as the recipients of these AU trade lines do not know your name or ssn or account number and have no access to an actual credit card to make purchases.

Also, if it is SS disability it might change depending on if the recipient earns any money and how much.

In fact, @Casey Walker ,  I'd add that it takes 3-5 mailings before the recipients respond on average.

Every recipient has a case manager, I think you should sit down with him/her and explain your apprehension, and ask if the recipient has ever had any problems with a previous landlord ?
