I have used Harry’s firm (Harry Marsh Law) for a double assignment closing last year and the process was very smooth and all electronic. 

Also: we only take electronic payment on anything rented this way, one-way ACH.

I'm kind of a tech geek at heart (my primary job is network analyst/IT) and I love to teach myself all things tech/electronic/software but as my wife so nicely put it.."

You can strike out any portion you're not comfortable with (not by electronic signature, print it out).

Leads - from the internet or run ads in local papers.Negotiate the price on the phoneMake a trial offer - a trial offer is an offer well below what they wanted - a TRIAL OFFER  will smoke out their true motivation.Always ask for contract candy - that is anything they can add to the deal - all the furniture, owner financing, interest free note for their balance or part of it, a car, money back at settlement etc.Send a skinny contract for electronic signaturesGet it inspected, have agents look at it, get compsIf my offer is too high, go into second stage negotiations (lowering the offer).Advertise the property for sale - if no takers - have a public auction.With remote investing the United States is your market - learn how to do it and you will always have leads, deals and settlements.Good luck,Charles

(Ok many are probably electronic by now but they still always have a ton of paper)4) lastly, make sure you have that price point dialed in if renting offices is the way you want to go.

I watch the first of the month for the electronic deposit of the rent.  

It's one of my greater strengths, whether it be selling a car or electronics I am always looking to build long lasting relationships with like minded individuals. 

 - Where all invoices (electronic and paper) can be stored (and the date tracked) - Heck maybe some automation :-)- Calls from tenants recorded (call, time and date and what was reason, and resolution)- Rent tracking, amount, date, late fee, maybe an auto notification sent to tenants that have not paid and a custom message, like "It is the fifth day of the month, and per the terms of your lease, a late fee of $XX will be assessed to your rental payment."

You would think that in the electronic age that it would be a pretty quick check but then nothing with banking is very intuitive.
