What is the best practice to collect rent?

[Vishal Amin]

Hi,

I am an out of out of state investor. I purchased a duplex that is already fully occupied, I was wondering what is the best practice when it comes to collecting rent (section 8 tenants). 

Is it best to do it completely online, if so do you recommend any platforms that make it easier for the tenant.

Do it the old way and have them deposit checks? How would this process even work, if I am not physically getting the checks?

Thank You,
