Self Property management
For all my SELF property management investors out there. What's the best way to get rent payments from tenants without having to physically do it and something secure and with a trail?

@Anthony Theokary both Cozy and Zillow have free online rent collection systems. I would require tenants to use one of those unless local laws require you to take other payment methods. If you are required to take other payment methods, I would incentive online payment via a monthly discount. Say your rent is normally $1000 per month, I would advertise $1000 with online rent payment or $1010 without. That way you are compensated if you are dealing with checks.
