There's about a 5 business day delay between the tenant making the payment and it posts to my bank account, but I don't need to money immediately anyway and it's free.I've also used Quickbooks invoicing but they have a select list of banks they can draw from and if the tenant doesn't use one of those banks, it's back to check payments.Pros: Both Cozy and Quickbooks can also be used to manage expensesCons: one of my old tenants refuses to give online companies 'electronic access to her checking account' so she just sends me a check still and I use mobile deposits with my bank.

Aside from showing up unannounced, I’m just trying to see what electronically is available.

Some electronic lock systems are not remotely programmable, so if there is a security issue and you need to re-code the lock, you will still have to visit the lock in person.

There is a standard NY contract for the purchase and sale of Real Estate that you can either fill out and present on paper, or better have them sign electronically.

Josh Bauerle You can use Rently to electronically let people in with their lock boxes or you could pay a realtor to do the showings and give them a cut.For rent collection I love Cozy and use it for my local property and one out of state.

Lastly, now a days, forms are done electronically, so if the template works for you and you can do it online, the agent can just click a few buttons and you're on your way.

Plus, there is a $100 set up fee for setting up electronic payments.

The Realtor was on the property on 10/6 to take pictures, the electronic lock was installed on 10/7.

The initial offer is submitted electronically and if accepted a formal paper contract must be signed by both the broker and buyer.

I just rented a condo to four students, all miles away, I had them all sign electronically using DocuSign ... easy as pie.
