I did find some land, (indust), in the middle of the city, 22 ach..

The exterior isn't in too bad shape, and the interior is going to take alot of weekends and sore muscles.

I would say ABSOLUTELY stay away from landlording.If you want to flex your artistic muscle, I would suggest rehabbing.

I like to exercise that "risk muscle" that Frank McKinney refers to all the time.

If anyone can please help me with some good starting strategies, some helpful tips that helped them get started, or even some ways to avoid some heart ache, anything will be greatly appreciated.

So, we rented the property. ( Funny side note...it was the sign in the yard that attracted the renter that moved in )We want to do online bill pay which is another available feature- and we have two options: ACH and CC but the fees attached to that will be around 100.00 per month per tenant.

While researching I noticed several recent reviews on Fidelity's Self-Employed 401K plan where clients have stated having to mail paper checks monthly for their contributions and the lack of online or ACH transfer capabilities. 

Your draw to fire time is also pretty slow until you have built the muscle memory.

You can manage units, split payments, activate ACH, market the property and syndicate, and many other features.

While this tenant may end up paying it's bad policy going forward.Get them on an ACH service since they have money.
