Just trying to learn as much as I can along the way to help the medicine go down!

@Daniel Hansen, Here's some that a small-time rental portfolio manager has in mind for systems.Rent Collection: Automate through ACH or Direct Deposit, as opposed to drive to the homes and collect rent checksMaintenance: Have a handyman "guy" or a crew that you can text and schedule, as opposed to run around to fix toiletsNeighborhood Watch: Make friends with the neighbors and have them alert you when there's undesirable events etc. going around the propertyProperty Management: If you choose this, have several property managers that you constantly keeping tabs on to help with management.

Zillow Rental Manager is more clear about that.cozy.co is the only sure I've found where rent payment is free for ACH transactions.

Raising the rent and hoping he will move will only result in heart ache.

Would online ACH deposits work as opposed to check scans?

For example, if you narrow down the list to 20 and out of the group you get 3 that will listen, you are way ahead.The benefits to the owner:1) No more head aches with tenants and property management.2) Interest on their equity paid to them on a regular schedule (monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, annually)3) If you can't handle it, they get their property back.Benefits to you:1) Little to no money down2) No bank qualifying for a loan3) You can refinance the proprety loan as the owner after you make improvements and raise the rents.

They'll have exhausted all other options of over the counter medicine or whatever. 

"herb yielding seed" you carry on your person is considered medicinal / non-criminal in your state.

I don't go to a neurologist for Tylenol for a back ache, but if he would treat me, he wouldn't be charging for doing brain surgery!  

An ACH transfer would cost both the business and the business paying back the loan money.
