You’ll notice that almost anyone who claims otherwise makes their living by doing so.One cheap alternative if you really insist on buying this (again, for reasons other than health): buy term life insurance and then take the money you have left over and buy an insured, zero-coupon tax-exempt bond.  

My second question is, what does everyone do for health insurance?

That the property is about to go to a Tax sale foreclosure auction, back taxes dues and increasing each month are over $8k and the widow would probably clear less than $25k.If the kids(four of them) insist on a share of that money from an 80+ year old widow with health problems, well, then they are just selfish.

. :)I think you'll be surprised by all the features Buildium has to offer -- keep good books in the system - it will make it very easy to know the financial health of your investment and track where all the money goes.  

I sometimes forget not everywhere is like where I live and invest where I can walk into City Hall and say hi to the Mayor and talk to the chief assessor and the board of health and go see the building inspector all within about 15 minutes and Im on my way.

Better hurry up to as there are look back periods for health benefits and estate planning, see your attorney. :)

If they need to change from one service animal to another, then we fill out a new Service Animal Agreement.We also include name and contact information regarding the service animal's veterinarian and emergency care taker.Here is an excerpt from our Service Animal Agreement regarding other terms:"Tenant agrees to:1.Provide proper care for the animal in accordance with veterinary recommendations or ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) guidelines.See www.aspca.org.2.Not to leave the animal unattended for any unreasonable periods of time.3.Adhere to local ordinances, including leash, vaccination, and tag/licensing, requirements.4.Clean up after the animal and dispose of animal waste properly and quickly.5.Not to leave animal food or water outside the dwelling, as it could attract other animals.6.Keep the animal from being noisy, aggressive, or from causing any annoyance or discomfort to others.7.Immediately remedy any complaints that arise from animal behavior.8.Immediately pay for any damage, loss, or expense caused to others by the animal.9.Provide animal with regular health care, to include vaccinations as recommended by a veterinarian.10.Arrange for an emergency caretaker for the animal.Tenant agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend Landlord against all liability, judgments, expenses (including attorney fees), or claims by third parties for any injury to any person or damage to property caused by Tenant’s animal.Landlord reserves the right to revoke permission to keep the animal should Tenant break this agreement or provide false or misleading information."

The previous owner was a woman of failing mental health and memory.

It costs a lot for help with health insurance.

Here's my situation:*I'm 49 and a health care professional*I have 3 kids*I have a large home with a large mortgage that I built, but have substantial equity because I built it on 85 acres of land that I got for a song, and the prices have risen dramatically (what I'm saying is I have equity I can use but will not tap that unless it's a dire emergency.)
