@Anna Laud Thank you very much for this. So far it seems using deposit at the bank is the best option. My only question is I use Wells Fargo and I have to enter in my debit card each time I want to make a deposit even with a teller. How do you get around this when you go to deposit money?

@Scott M.

There is an option but I wanted to avoid the potential 'lost in the mail' excuse. I also wanted to move away from having tenants come to the house to drop off payments

I have a 6 unit building and I'm trying to move away from having to go down to the building monthly to collect rent. I was able to move half of the units to paying online/cashapp but a few of my tenants still don't have bank accounts or simply prefer paying cash. I looked into paynearme where  you can go to a local store to pay your rent with cash with a small convenience fee but this service no longer provides direct solutions to landlords. I'm looking for alterative solutions to separate my physical self from having to collect the cash payments. The area the building is in is Passaic NJ. Any ideas would help!

@Andy Rousch are you going to rent to a family or find a few roommates? 

@Vaughn Smith Ah yes I've used cozy before to run background checks. I'll look into that for finding a roommate as well. 
@Mike Wilkinson Thanks for the advice there, you make a good point. 

Thank you! I’ll check those out and definitely do criminal & background checks 

I’m purchasing my second home, it’s a single family near Raritan, Somerville, Bridgewater area in New Jersey.

It’s a 3 bedroom 1 & a half bathroom. I’m 27 and don’t have kids so I don’t mind having roommates but I’m having trouble finding them. Any advice would help? 

@Sean McDonnell thanks for the connect! 

I'll be visiting Gastonia NC this week as I continue my search for an out of state investment. If anyone is from the area local or realtor. I'd love to connect / grab coffee / talk potential investments.

@Hai Loc - I've heard that as well for the overall advice, but I also see celebrities making large investments in certain parts of Detroit. That's why I'd like to find someone who is on the ground there as they would know which areas would be a complete bust
