Hi Rafael, not sure which markets you are in but I'm a newer investor myself invest mainly in midwest markets.

There are companies out there that handle everything in house from buying the property, to renovating it themselves, selling to an investor and managing themselves.

For June rent and all others, pick up the money orders in person or have them meet you at a location halfway between your house and the rental. 

The main challenge was ensuring timely completion of renovations to meet market demand.
