Best way for tenant to pay on-line or automatically?

[Emmy K.]

Hi BP-- hoping for help again!

I am trying to save time and energy (and get rid of our PO Box that I had to have :)) by getting tenants to pay online or automatically.

Anyone have any tips or tricks?

PayPal? Set up through their bank automatically? I have a few that still want to pay cash and that could be tricky I guess.

Most pay with a check each month.

I've heard of buildium? A tenant just sent me a link to "cash square application" but I'm a little hesitant without and knowledge.

Anyone have a system or systems they know and love? I would love to streamline maintenance requests, etc. as well. 

Any ideas greatly appreciated! Thanks to everyone as always !

I am using Cozy.co

I just started using their service and tomorrow I will be receiving my first payments from tenants.  It is a free service for landlords.  It is also free for tenants to use if they pay using their checking account information.  If they chose to use debit or credit there is a charge.
