How do you collect your rent?

[Kalyn Williams]

Hey Everyone, 

My husband and I are relatively new to being landlords. I am trying to find the most efficient way to send out a notice for Rent and collect it as well. Currently, I send out a formal text message 2 days prior to the rent being due and then my husband will pick it up personally. I am starting to think sending out a text message may not be the best, so I wanted to see how ya'll are going about this. Should we send out an invoice to the tenants with a due date and have an option for them to mail it, just want to get different takes on this. 

Thanks!
