It was a pain to get the Payoff Statement and Lien Discharge since the Note was held by this "little old lady" (in her 80's I think) who had no access to electronic communication or a fax. 

Software does have extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

They can electronically set it up.  

I most always collect a security deposit and get the lease signed electronically.

My tenants to the lat my bank, an I have auto pay from my accounts to the appropriate loan, all at the same bank, its simple, for the tenant, and for me, I give them a deposit slip with the account name, property address, and last 4 of the account, I can log in and see they paid, and the bank even images the deposit slip, so I can verify, Be careful with services, I heard on The Dave Ramsey Show, a guy was using a service, and a tenant was paying with stolen checks electronically, because the landlord was in possession of stolen property (the money) it was confiscated, in his case 11 months worth, know the terms and conditions. 

You can call me Dannis [my dad taught electronics and named me for the decibel :) ] I got here watching John Fedro's videos on how to spot mobile home repair problems for my purchase.

Specifically, I'm looking for someone who I can meet with in person initially, then coordinate electronically, and then have a final walkthrough in person.2.

It was a very easy process and they used an electronic appraisal, which was a tad lower than the regular appraisal amount.

Even then I prefer to docusign electronically.

I work full time for an electronics systems contractor company.
