I’m always looking to implement best management practices so what can I, as a landlord, do to protect myself when accepting online payments?

That is the thing about the game we are playing....every job is diferent and you can count on absolutely nothing.

This can be a game-changer for fix-and-flips, buy-and-hold investments, or new development projects.For lenders, it can mean earning higher returns, often in the range of 8-12%, backed by the property itself.

Even though I myself have a S8 rental, what you hear online is completely false.

I have over 18+ years in the REI game and the financing side is my expertise.  

A tough thing we've found though (like you mentioned) is even the highly rated foundation folks in our area -- as well as a lot of the content online -- all have a strong incentive to sell big high-margin solutions.

Think of it as free vs pay to play video games.

Quote from @Logan Williams: As a former student at the U of A, big rival games, homecoming, and greek life family weekends are a huge influx of people looking for lodging, with only a few hotels in close proximity to the University, STR's that are attractive can be few and far between.
