Because a lot of people believe they are good with money but they forget about the planning aspect: taxes, draw down strategies, social security strategies, health care, risk protection, and legacy planning just to name a few.

Account Closed it’s obviously a question best directed to an attorney, but I’m not aware of any such requirement in the law.Feel free to comb through the RI Landlord Tenant Handbook (or the laws themselves) in case you want to try to find one yourself.I looked at the Landlord to maintain premises section, which seemed like the most likely location for such a requirement, but didn’t see it there.The laws do have a few broad catch-all type sections such as “Comply with the requirements of applicable building and housing codes affecting health and safety” on that page and Landlord's duty regarding compliance with zoning and minimum housing laws so you could certainly call the Building Department for the city/town and ask there if there’s such a mail receptacle requirement.I do know there are properties in rural areas of RI that don’t have mail receptacles even on SFs though (folks there get their mail at the closest post office instead), so I’m leaning toward thinking there’s no such requirement.Depending on where you live, a PO box or (even better) private mail box like at the UPS store, can be really helpful for 1) receiving packages (no worries about doorstep theft and there’s always someone who can sign), and 2) as a way to send out direct mail pieces, and have an address to receive rent payments from tenants, without giving out your home address.So I think it’s worth looking into such services if you can afford it, especially if you own or plan to own rental property.

But I think in general you're going to get a deal if you can find someone willing to offload property below mkt value for some reason (be it financial, health, or frustration with distance or tenants). 

haha.the lion tale is amusing.We all need balance in health, relationships and business

I'm looking for an overall market health leaning at least slightly towards sellers.  

it's only 1 hr but keeps me sane.also now I call everything an appointment. even my family day is appointment.if I tell ppl I'm at an appointment they get it. bc I'm make business for all.and I do treat my kids as appointment now. they have to be a priority;) and my health. my run is an appointment

Actually even with smok'in good credit (yes, proud of that having recovered from a health caused bankruptcy in 2003).

I completely understand and back the safety issue permits as this is what it all was originally about, just doesnt seem thats what their true interest is anymore.When myself and one of my guys were threatened with arrest by a city inspector because we were fixing 3 pieces of aluminum window trim on a friends house that was damaged by a bush too close to the house, what exactly did he want to inspect and whats the safety / health issue?

I generally meet with the appraisers at the house, walk them through everything we did, ensure there are no health or safety concerns, and answer any questions they may have.For further information see 24 CFR § 203.37, Federal Register (Vol. 76, No. 249, Pages 81363 - 81365), FHA Lender's Handbook.

What's her current health insurance status?
