My Section 8 tenant is direct deposit from the HA (Housing Authority) side then the tenant pays electronically via Cozy. 

if you are planning to do the work yourself and can stand plaster dust destroying your electronics and furniture,horrendous paint odors you might be ok. the contractors doing the rehab will definitely not like it. rent a trailer with a bath and kitchenette and live in the driveway until completion. doing this will be better for everyone's sanity!

There should be at least one entity - such as a family or personal trust - between you and the LLC which owns the building(s) and the S-Corp which processes the income.If you visit the property during the day when most folks work (81% according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, that might be lower now after "the crash") you'll be less likely to be recognized as the buyer, especially if you dress down quite a bit while doing your inspections.Then, hire a management company and have the rent checks and electronic payments go to them.

But no one mails rent to me anyway.There are tons of options to receive your rent electronically.

If you keep personal data on file you are legally liable should someone steal that information.Your credit screening company should keep it on file for you electronically.

Electronic funds transfer only.

I have done better with a discount for electronic payment on the first right at the start of the lease.

Pawn shop, but need something of value (jewelry, guns, electronic devices)5.

I do electronic payments for all tenants.

I would like to switch to electronic payments from our renters.
