@Taryk Baylor we use cozy for management and cozy post on about three websites for us and then we use ZillowOur market is hot so we don’t really need much moreYou can also use nextdoor appWe avoid CraigslistMy first tenant was from Craigslist.I blame myself and not Craigslist but if we don’t need it we avoid Craigslist

Made one small payment ($400), ignored email stating that partial payments are not allowed per lease and to please cancel the payment (Cozy doesn’t give landlord option to do it on my end), and made remainder of payment ($1350) 2 days later.

Use an online portal like Cozy if they have a bank account.
