They saw lots of pictures online and we exchanged many emails.Within 10 minutes of getting here the wife suddenly became very picky;  she decided she didn't like "those people" in the neighborhood (the house is in a small subdivision with large lots; no body walks around outside so I'm not sure what "those people" she even saw), the appliances were too old, the counters were not granite, she didn't like the light fixtures.   

The landlords body was recently found; the girlfriends not yet. 

., RI General Laws Chapter 34-18) which is the body of RI landlord-tenant laws covering things like security deposits, evictions, required notices & timelines, default rental terms (in the absence of a lease - not recommended), etc.So if you think the RI Landlord Tenant Handbook is dry, compare it to the source material (the laws) and you'll go back and think it's just fine and dandy :)Good luck and you can post any questions you have here on BP of course!

Dead bodies under the slab, things like that.

I had a tenant who "generously" told me (leaving owing me a months rent) that he left me one of those stupid barbecue grills along with a really heavy headboard (no foot board), a large and broken set of bedroom drawers and a TV table also broken down.I was supposed to be grateful that I had to haul this crap to the curb all because it wouldn't fit into his U-Haul.About the only entertainment with all of this is that the rental is in a neighborhood where folks come by and pick up this stuff like vultures picking over dead bodies. 

Commercial is fine, but it's a different body of knowledge.

I never imagined that stretching every fiber of my will, determination, physical/mental strength and pushing my body to its limits would have catapulted me into investing in real estate.  

It isn't most states, it is EVERY state, plus DC, so all 51 licensing bodies in the US require you hang your license for at least 2 years - and a couple of states require 3 years - with a more experienced agent.When I was first licensed, I felt this was unfair.

It's a disservice many places enact, when they have telemarketers, and warm bodies in a seat to take your application and don't consider true guidelines and options for investors. keep looking

They want a 30 day extension, which I'm reluctant to do, but will do as the house will be a profitable rehab.Any body had this happen ?
