How do you collect rent from lower income units?

[David Hendrix]

Hello everyone,

I have a couple of multi units in Mansfield Ohio (6 unit and 8 unit). They are both lower income type properties ($300 to $325 per unit). How do you collect payment from these lower income rental units. Going door to door is out of the question! I am hoping for some good ideas!!

Thanks

Dave

Dave, why is going door-to-door out of the question? Is it just a personal safety concern?

Going door-to-door is very beneficial. It's a great way to keep on top of maintenance concerns, tenants who break the rules (eg. no-pets clauses), and more. If you don't want to do it yourself, perhaps you can pay someone you know $20 or $30 to do it for you.
