I’m always looking to implement best management practices so what can I, as a landlord, do to protect myself when accepting online payments?

@Yosef Ajami, we use Quickbooks Online for all of our Clients (including syndicators).

I wanted a cohesive, fairly upscale look, so bought new from a variety of places including a local furniture store, Amazon, Wayfair, Target online, Home Depot online, Pottery Barn, Article, and others.

I have corporate bookkeeping experience and can see all the money coming in online but there is no one there I can speak with about our account.

What are the chances that someone would search this online forum, find this thread, and create an account just to make a positive comment on this thread about this company?

Find ways to consistently and systematically add more people to your database each week - i.e. cold calling, networking, online marketing4.

I could not find any details that confirm that online. 

Staying at flamingo island using Marriott points and Hyatt casino using Hyatt points flying business with AF flying blue to Paris in Mag with my wife and 2 kids 45k points each leg, staying at an Airbnb paid cash and in Budapest at the W wirh 6 night cerficatesgoing to Italy in September flying economy in Iberia for 4 people, 25k Alaska points one way ($1000 per person when i checked) staying at the grand Victoria hotel in lake comp with my 3 night Hilton verticales ($1300 per night value) still planning the return and the rest of the trip

Then just yesterday, I come across the 1099 / 1099-NEC form requirements online from my own research.

You'll need good contact info for them to be able to collect, and ideally the new address for the tenant however which if you don't have can probably be found easily with some online sleuthing/ contacting their employer, skip tracing software, etc.
