Otherwise you could have one occupant bringing up issues that have already been addressed with another occupant etc....My students split the 1000 dollar rent 4 ways so they preferred to pay electronically via one of the many apps available.

Does the basic program come with the electronically purchase and seller agreement forms? 

@Boston Caruthers I don’t care what the IRS is requiring from my electronic payments because I claim all my rent.

I’m sure they would love for you to spend time and money in their stores. 2) When you find a trade contractor,  ask if they do electronic payment ,and what is their email.

But then Zillow allows you to do all the documents electronically, and to collect rent electronically so I've had nothing but good experiences with it.

For around $20 per month, you can create up to 5 electronic guidebooks.

@Bill BrandtLets face it --- any electronic system is "open" for hacking/fraud/mis-use. 

I wouldn't be to quick to think you are not a victim here Maybe an account that is for the sole purpose of collecting rent, then as soon as its collected the rent is moved by check or some other means, not electronically to another account is a type of defense against this?? 

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.

While I already follow up via text and email, I'm considering a drip campaign, too.I'd like to do a number of electronic follow-ups but then turn to mailing them.
