If they are paying by ACH, each payment takes three banking days to process.

Tenants have the option to pay via ACH or credit card.

I don't want to get sued due to the head ache but I know if he tried he wouldn't have much to stand on.

Checks in a lock box, ACH, just no cash and I don't do the websites.

They are insured up to $1 mil and would be handling all management, furnishing, cleaning, inspections etc while I get my flat monthly rents via ACH.

@Sylwia LeczyckaI would recommend that they pay by check or ach payment as much as possible.

I use Apartments.com's payment system, or set up an ACH.

I am trying to find a simple, affordable software that will allow me manage our tenants - collect rent via ACH, background/credit check, tenant portal, etc. 

For $10 a month you can manage up to $150 rentals and it's a pretty all-inclusive piece of software that lets you track your properties, your tenants, store documents electronically, except ACH payments, market vacant units, track maintenance, and more. 

What you get:- They'll allow you to set up automatic ACH payments... set and forget. - Their pay history records are unlikely to be questioned by courts, banks, etc. - Tax records are more likely to be handled correctly and on time.- Payoff statements when neededThat said, as a payor, document each canceled check.
