If you want to sign them electronically, you'll have to use DocuSign but I'm pretty sure you can fill in the PDF's blanks on the computer.

The problem I have in SoCal though is many of the locks are electronic and becoming an assistant will only give me access to my brokers listings.

Seemed logical if they checked the deal, had access to all the house's info, that they would provide the "covering/electronic funding" of proof of funds since it'll only be a sort of digital hold of money until the deal is done. 

If the software is not simplifying your life or making you more accurate, you shouldn't use it.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 take scanned items or electronic file, IE: excel something like QuickBooks or otherwise would reduce our time around tax time tremendously and free us up for more investigating for properties throughout the year.

In my case, I live in a 100+ unit apartment building and the management company does not have electronic payments set up.

We have grown to 27 units and will be at 40 by the first of the year.. all rents are still being collected manually or mailed in.. we need to shift to a draft system. What are the best options?

I always get my monthly statement electronically on time.  

See what some of you thought about it, and possibly give you something to think about.I hope this post finds all of you doing great in your business as well as life in general. this is very common in other countries were renters actually have electronic checking. 

Maybe do it all electronically with the title company?
