Or set up electronic payment that can also be used for rent.

Only catch is that this system requires the tenants to give approval for the credit/background check via an email address.Buildium also allows tenants to pay electronically via a bank transfer and creates your very own best site with your current listings.Hope this is helpful.

Thankfully my neighbors are quick on their feet and helped me get the electronics out fast.For size reference the bottom of the screen is 4 feet off the ground.

Electronic payment or money orders only.Why do they need to meet you in person?

They are often electronic these days, but still in writing.  

All your business is done by phone and electronic communication, so local is not important. 

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.
