If I had to confine myself to investing only in Southern California, I would have never cash flow and would always had to use a loan to purchase properties.

Payments will be accepted online through Cozy, an online payment service, in which the Tenant must allow for recurring monthly rental payments and use as the primary rental payment method.

If you use Cozy with ACH there's no fee.

Enough renters will look past lack of Mountain View if the cabin is cozy and has a hot tub and fire pit.

Does anyone use cozy for applications, background and credit checks and rent collections? 

Does anyone have experience with Cozy, Venmo, Zelle or Zillow in which they allow the landlord to accept or decline the payment from the tenant?

So you're getting the same speed with Cozy at the same price, but Cozy also has a free option.

Currently I’m tracking and logging everything with Stessa and Cozy.

They aren't very forthcoming about which is which, but you can look at where the land bank chooses to list houses for sale rather than knock them down, plus where DPS has put money into school buildings, and get a pretty good idea.So at the very least, can we agree that anyone considering buying in Detroit should confine themselves to those areas?

Cozy also offers a good online platform for self managing as well.
