Yes, having tenants pay ACH via a Tenant Portal software is best, but not all will cooperate and some will play games that result in NSF charges.We allow tenants to deposit cash/check/money order directly at our bank into our account.Many Class C & D tenants have challenges adapting to unfamiliar ways to pay and is often not worth the hassle (and possible evictions) to get them to change:(

I genuinely believe that creative finance can be a game-changer, especially in this current market where traditional lending is tightening up.Looking forward to connecting and learning from everyone here as well.Joe

It's a game changer once you have a few employees and operate that many so everyone stays on the same page.

I’m not set on anything so far, so I’d appreciate any advice you have on getting in the game!

Unless you bought RE a few years ago, created equity via successful BRRRR, flip, or do a combination you're just playing the appreciation game. 

The BRRRR method and creative financing are game-changers!

The man selling said he knows he will lose money on the deal as the property already appraised for $560,000 but would love to get a young investor like myself into the game since his son did not end up sticking with it.

Love that you have been in the RE game for so long!

The current game is flipping which is a job (stop flipping and you stop making money) or more patience than I have.
