Managing a property for a bunch of Old-Old fashion folks

[Carl Dieckmann]

Hey guys, I have a fourplex I own in Dime Box Texas (yes, this name is correct, about 1 hr east of Austin TX). I like the property, it is built solid, and the numbers are good. The tenants are also good, no major issues... other than the are all OLD and basically don't know what the internet is. I love using apartments.com (I have used a few other rent collection systems in the past). They make collecting rent and managing a property easy. These tenants not only don't do this, they are adverse to it. They send me a cashiers check every month, often with a hand written note about the properties condition. Yes, it is a nice touch, but come-on... I'm a busy guy. Can't we move this a little more towards tech? Any thoughts?

So you have a tenant that pays on time and takes pride in the property yet you are "so busy" that you can't take one minute to take a picture and do a deposit on your phone? Really?  So for entertainment purposes only, please tell us how busy you are?
