In a perfect situation, the payment will still be delayed (even if by hours) using this additional system.And secondly, many of these vendors have "clawback" provisions where, in their terms of service, you give them permission to go back into your account - even weeks after the fact - and reverse a deposit that was made by your tenant.My system is simple, allows for tenants to pay through multiple means, and does not cost me anything extra.

It's easy to obtain, costs very little, and doesn't require extra, on-going effort to maintain.

I want to upgrade my house up a notch in the couple years and get a couple little extras like that.  

Earning an extra 3% on $2k that you’re likely holding for less than a year.

Now to provide extra comfort and convenience to our buyers (who are mostly out of state) we agree to help them out by getting them set up with local property management that we work with closely as well as assisting management market the property for rent to place tenants.

If they have nowhere to go or don't know how to find a next place, and no relatives who are helping them, you will be the only person that goes the extra step to help (even with advice) which means you will get the sale at a better price and help someone.

One thing that I would like to add to this list is making an investment without having enough extra money to get through the medium times as well as the bad times.

The tenants have paid and if someone is thinking about moving out then an extra surcharge that hits if they aren't out in time for us to turn the place for a lucrative AirBNB short term rental can help massage the move out timing.That said with MTR we do not have the cleaning costs that eat up a lot of STR gross, and its lower hassle in some ways.  

Otherwise, you won't have the extra funds necessary to cover the rising costs of goods and services in the future.What causes rents (and prices) to increase?

I will begin the process of suing him, hoping to add extra pressure.
