In these cases, this is my preferred method.Pros- Great option for tenants without email or who are not tech-savvy- Requires no front end set up from your end as the landlord/property manager- Typically results in more on-time payments since it takes the human error out of bill paying- No fees for the tenant or landlord/property managerCons- Not all financial institutions offer this - Does not allow you to configure late payments, fees, updated rent etc.- Requires slightly more time on the bookkeeping side to ensure the deposit hit your account and sometimes it difficult to tell at first who the deposit is for- Tenant at any time can stop the direct deposit from their end

Whenever I replace kitchens in small single family rentals, I try to configure them to be in a straight line ( like a Gally kitchen ) so the replacement of them is easy and accessible at any home depot or Lowes. 8 ft long sectionals are extremely cheap and come with the countertop most of the time. 

Aloha,While I am sure in many rural areas it would not be an issue, generally the USPS only delivers mail to addresses from the property tax records.To split utilities, it largely depends on how they are currently configured.

Your target tenant pool defines the location, property type, configuration, rent range, and more.Once you know the characteristics of the properties you want, the next step is deciding how to purchase the property.

Right now have a property under contract, price decent, but cash flow not close to my other properties due to how leases configured by current owner with him covering utilities. 

So one strategy home owner could do is to buy low configuration setup (2/1 or 1/1) and convert it into 2/1 or 3/2.Some guy that read my comment and implement this, I saved you half million already LOL.

Not big families, then probably not an issue.Also, we have added baths in the past - depending on the configuration of the property you may be able to find places to add a half bath or convert a half bath to a full bath. 

Curioushow you configured it.  

We're in the same ship.There are three possible designations on Airbnb: Admin (CREATED THE LISTING), Primary Host (FACE OF THE LISTING), and Cohost (HAS MANAGER ACCESS).Feel free to book a consultation at wishstr.setmore.com if you wanna get really in depth about configuration.

Very user friendly and configurable to your individual situation.
