It’s the soft skills and business administration elements that often cause head aches, blind spots, and liability.

Tenant agrees to have rent and all payments made via ACH Direct Deposit, or use the PayNearMe service.

@Luke Ache - 35805 is a diverse zip code;  it is mostly C class, with some B and D neighborhoods mixed in. 

They're quality properties in B or B- neighborhoods with good tenants (mostly who pay via ACH autodraft).I see a lot of advice about buying turnkey, but not much about selling.

They can use ACH, Zelle or a teller at my bank which gives them a receipt.

I rent my units a little below market to get head ache free tenants, to me it's well worth it.  

I collect most rents by ACH, so some fairly specific rules to follow for that.2) Admin Schedule document, showing weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual activities.3) Master spreadsheet, showing every tenant move-in and move-out date or rent change date, and balance of deposit funds on account by tenant, and monthly rent received.

Williampaid is also another one, if the tenant pays by ach deposit there is no charge to either the tenant or the landlord.

Did a little detective work and I think what happened was he left early without legally returning possession, so they filed eviction and detainer, plus the difference between his security and the 2 months rent loss.I just offered them the unit with 2 conditions, last month as Mark helpfully suggested (didn't know that was legal) and that they use an automatic ACH payment or a service like Cozy.I was planning on asking them to sign at least a 15 month so it's up in the spring next time.

Ability to collect rent through ach withdrawl.
