In what forms or apps or websites do most use to accept rent in this age of new tech?

Looks like the military is putting serious faith in Austin as a tech incubator.

Furnished rentals work well in studios especially and can net substantially higher rent than a long term lessee (the hotel room effect).Would target key tech areas to get all the interns and other busy spots near downtown / Santana Row.

The last few years we've seen several large employment centers move to Bham and it's lately been somewhat of an under the radar hot bed for tech startups (not to mention Shipt) - overall it has, and always has had, a strong entrepreneurial presence. 

My personal experience of VRBO guests is they are older and not as tech-savvy as my Airbnb guests.  

I second cozy.coI’ve been using it these last few tenant cycles and it’s a great tool in many ways.1- if the tenant won’t pony up the $40 fee or take the time to do it, it’s a great indicator for me to who I’m dealing with2- I don’t have to take applications and money and I don’t feel bad for taking an app fee and not giving it to those applicants. 3- no need to collect ssn and to destroy4- Tenants can’t leave anything blank as they can with a paper app5- feels more formal and professional 6- generally the type of potential tenant I like to deal with that can use tech to communicate, which gives me a glimpse to how they’ll handle future complaints and requests. 

Thanks @Ned Carey great info I am an Hvac Tech looking to get involved in the real estate investing and I drive a lot everyday of the week so I will now take a notepad and jot down anything I see when enroute.

That's when I learned that none of these unanswered questions were relevant to running a business.My business failed after a year, but I managed to find a W-2 job (technical writing) that combined the mission of my failed business (freelance writing) with my previous W-2 career (computer tech).

So the guy I know who went to ITT Tech, failed at a tech career, then took 10 years to get an MBA from Devry on his parents dime will now be in the same category of me, the self made millionaire who did his MBA in 1.5 years at a top school?

It has been proven to me over many years that is a dark and dangerous road.In our leases, it states that if the maintenance issue (lets use clogged toilet or sewer main) is a result of normal wear/tear or lack of owner maintenance, the charge rightfully belongs to the owner.However, if the tech pulls out a toothbrush or Barney the Dinosaur out of the drain, the full charge belongs to the tenant.
