As mentioned above, unfortunately my credit is not high enough to rent on my own, however talking my parents into buying a 2nd home after 10 years and now they are actually MAKING MONEY from having it rather than losing it in stocks is none of your business, however if I am signing a LEASE, I expect to have my privacy respected and not have a phone call/text anytime a car pulls up to my house because I want to get laid or smoke a medicinal joint with a friend. 

Ability to collect rent through ach withdrawl.

A lot of banks now allow ACH transactions if you have the account and routing numbers for another bank account. 

Contactless (online) payments is a big deal given the current state of things during C19, especially with the right platform that allows your tenants more options (ie. debit/credit card option, ACH payments, or even expedited payment processing, along with rent/payment due date reminders, and the ability to report positive payments to TransUnion in order to give your tenants' credit scores a boost; this acts as an added incentive for them in the long run as well).

I take ACH payment for no fee…

The naturally required 25% down as an investor and sit back and collect a check every month, ach deposit, whatever.

I use Quickbooks for all of my accounting, and I was able to set up ACH transactions through that.  50 cents a pop, easy, and tenants pay invoices right online.  

Rich,Occasionally I wonder if I have what it takes if the world broke down in to Mad Max Thunder Dome, but it has more to do with my curiosity about mankind and the role I was intended to play in society if it were not for modern medicine and science.

OK,  the way I read that,  if he didn't have AC,  he wouldn't have to put it in.  

Listings are posted on websites, screening reports can be sent over email, leases can be signed online, rent gets collected via ACH, and a quick google search of local handyman in the area...
