Second exception: electronic payments.

My tenants don't all have a way to use the electronic payments.

But yes, I will talk to them to encourage them to open a bank account and pay me electronically.

Finding them post eviction also difficult @Jeffery H:   Yes, I have a lease that was signed 'electronically', but NOTHING else - no social numbers, birth dates, employment, references - NOTHING. 

No need for running wiring for each individual unit, a visitor pushes the button for the person they are visiting, the unit dials the number that is programmed and the resident can hit a button to unlock the door (assuming there is already electronic locking hardware in place).

Probably not as applicable for Section 8 housing but I use Chase Quickpay for my tenants, allows them to electronically send money instantly using only my email address.

I use the Schlage electronic door locks and I instantly deleted all existing codes, even the current landlord code.  

Could sue your input...I have been a Small-time landlord for sometime in SFR's, and am looking to stop taking rent payments via Cashier's Check/MO's.I would like to know:1)  Your preferred electronic method/system for collecting rents.2)  If you know of any systems that I can use that record payments for the sake of letting rent payments count toward credit scores (i.e., can help to build a tenant's credit score by paying on time, etc...)Thx!......

Do you provide move in and move out reports How many pictures do you take of the property prior to tenant moves in and after the tenant moves outDo you get weekly reports when the property is vacant what prospective tenants are saying about your homeDo you provide monthly newsletters to your tenantsDo you hold investor education classes to help me become a better investorDo you have single point portfolio based management services?

For example we recently had an electronic Wi-Fi lock fail at a unit.
