Options like our partner Baeslane’s free online rent collection platforms, payment apps, and ACH transfers are convenient for both parties, but traditional methods like checks or cash are still widely used.I’d love to hear about your experiences:What rent collection method do you prefer and why?

Because the owners of Licensing Experts pay ALL CASH, the closing usually occurs 3-6 weeks, which is very fast compared to traditionally financed commercial deals I've seen on Bigger Pockets.The whole thing hinges on their very clever technique of getting existing commercial retail tenants engaged, willing to move into their newly acquired properties who are coming up for a lease renewal or lease expiration, rather than marketing for new commercial tenants - which would take way too long.Licensing Experts is somewhat of a "front" for their Mentorship Platform, as they evidently have many of their own separate entities for which they use to actually purchase and close on their commercial properties assigned by their mentees. 

It takes time but worth it.How do you plan to finance your first property—are you looking at traditional loans, or have you considered other options like house hacking?

A REAL fixer needs so much work that it doesn't qualify for traditional financing options.

It’s refreshing to see someone leveraging both traditional methods and community engagement... it’s a solid mix.
