My name is Matt, I am currently in my last semester of college studying computer science.

Hey guys, is there a easy way to receive rents from tenants who have or may not have checking accounts. ? where would be best to keep rent/investment monies. Any Advise would be appreciated
Thanks

I also buy vintage glass light covers/fixtures at Construction Junction or Habitat for Humanity Restore to put in my rentals as they add a lot of character and look much better than most of the modern ones sold at Lowe's/Home Depot.I would ask a selling agent about the cabinets to see what he/she thinks about staining them VS painting them.

A more modern option might be if you pay for a modern lock that allows him to issue a code for a limited time if you need access.

I've done it but only when i'm trying to squeeze more money out of a third party while at the same time, being comfortable with it coming back to me as REO (That usually implies there is a senior lien/junior lien relationship of some sort).Some of it is art, some science, some smoke and mirror but its all in the effort to "true up" what you realistically expect to take as a loss when its all said and done, if you end up taking a loss.

Let's say you go and rent an apartment in a sparkling modern building in downtown San Francisco

Rents are not necessarily a science and no broker can guarantee you what rent is.

I'm a sucker for older homes (modern homes lack the charm and craftsmanship) and absolutely love interior design (I've gotta thank my mom for that, she's got great taste).

@Deborah Repaskey Buying a house that is 70 years old is getting better every year, one of the biggest issues with older homes tends to be knob and tube wiring or plumbing that isn't copper, both of these really started to be changed to modern standards starting in the 50s so that decade can sometimes be a mixed bag but those are going to be your primary concern unless someone hasn't replaced a major system like a roof in 70 years. 

In addition to good cash flow, both have strong economic and demographic fundamentals like job growth, population growth and a diverse, modern economy.
