Not only is cash a security risk in terms of being robbed, it's also a counterfeit risk.

Think about it, especially when the Fed has been printing money like a drunken counterfeiter. 38% inflation since 2003 is a serious factor, one that must be considered and used to overlay historical data.

Bank called me and said it was counterfeit. 

I want cold, hard CASH (that I check with a counterfeit pen).Having said that, if you have a bad feeling about the applicants - DON'T TAKE THEM!!!

Check cash with a counterfeit pen MO's can be counterfeited, too, but I'm not sure how to check those.One FULL month's rent and ALL of the security deposit to move in.

I use a counterfeit pen on all the cash I receive!

Once I have the CASH ($100 bills preferred) and have checked it with a counterfeit pen, I've been paid - game over.Furthermore, I can't overstate how important it is to be a hands-on landlord and talk to the tenants each month.MikeMike
