We just supply the location and they do the marketing   Automated, White Label, Copper, and Freedom are probably a few that I'd chat with about third party management.

To this end, I have started listening to the BiggerPockets podcast, which has been instrumental in my educational journey.

It could be worth considering a shot at an actual software solution built for DIY landlords (1 - 15 units); one that helps you to automate your own rental process (ie. compared to other tools, one that helps you to actually get it listed on 10+ major listing sites, allows you to schedule showings, provides you with super thorough tenant screening options, online digital leases which can be customized and help you by breaking out those fees, automated maintenance tracking, and fast rent collection which also offers your tenants the ability to report their positive on-time payments to the major credit bureaus; just another positive reinforcement/added incentive to get them to make those payments on time).

I'm looking for a good way to automate rental payments.  

I like the automation of mailing.

The multi door padsplit operators have alot of home automation they remote control and monitor including cameras on the front door (not interior), remote managed bedroom door locks, front door lock etc etc.I won't get into either rent by the room or airbnb! 

Lisa Koch and Julie Hamilton and Jaime Magne in the Northern Virginia were instrumental in helping us succeed.

And not that I would use it, but I have yet to receive the $250,000/$500,000 pre-approval they promised for all in attendance.Glass half full, they did provide certain meals, a couple of cocktails and a guided bus tour of investment "opportunities", which they applied considerable pressure for offers on, one with a suggested "ARV" that was at least $100k above highly reliable AVM (automated valuation models) I have access to.Overall, I say stay away, unless their Funding Tour comes within driving distance and then only so you can see for yourself. 

Early on, I think people should be more conservative and establish a base (HYSA) and then regular (weekly or monthly) automated investments in low cost index funds. 

The intention of this instrument was to avoid the probate courts and to provide for step-up basis when he passes.
