It's possible to find a deal in such a case but it takes substantially more work and you're dealing with a third party instead of the decision maker.

Zelle isn't a money maker by itself for member banks, but it requires you to have an account with them.

As part of my due diligence, I always ask for proof that the prospective tenant has paid the last month's rent.I personally don't care how much praise the current landlord gives me about the prospective tenants, that could be a smoke screen to get rid of the trouble makers as fast as he can.While it's not 100% fool proof, if I don't see a cashed check or other proof that the tenant has paid his current rent, I'm going to put this tenant through the grinder to get every single detail I can.I consider this kind of check to be more important than an Eviction check.
