@Michael Glaspie We typically have 30 days financial due diligence and 15 days physical due diligence.

My leases all say check physically in the UPS box on the first, but if the tenant wants too I'll give em the deposit slips.

Hire Evolve and let them take over  (after making the physical changes others already mentioned). 

I have completed 2 Tough Mudders, 3 Spartan Races, a triathlon, and various other physically demanding challenges to test my limits and challenge myself. 

Define default and what happens if you go into default (ie. exercise their rights per the deed of trust which spells out how they take control or sell the property)This isn't everything but it's a start.

The 212 people told me they wouldn't stop the payment, so I'm thinking I'd just have to wait for it to arrive and physically deposit it.Meanwhile, I decided to open an account at ETRADE Bank, where their mobile deposit limit is $99k and don't charge for incoming wires (I think).

The way you have proposed would be the most costly way to do this exercise. 

Management goes through rent rolls and finances of prospective sites, and I do physical inspections, gather certificates, check and estimate vacant and contracts, etc.It's usually an additional service in my experience, but works out well when we start take over new contracts.

They do physical inspection of the alarm and fire extinguishers.

I don't want to be negative, please take all this with a grain of salt, but just make sure the physical property is in good condition because renters (especially low income/Section 8) tend to beat up properties and when you only have one stream of income, it can crush you.
