I currently pay the bill from the entity that has the card and the other entities reimburse that entity per their portion of expenses.I don’t think it really matters but just be consistent.

Have them set up on automatic payments or using a program where they can either deposit it at a bank, online, or another payment station. 

I'm in charge of a small 3-unit HOA, just wondering if anyone is collecting payments from unit owners online in any way?

The point John was making, I think, is that the depreciation and other paper deductions that you create by having rental properties, can help off-set your SEI, and any other income for that matter, as a 'real estate professional'

The tenant does everything online and I get the report.

Well, if they’re looking for anything from chevy’s to bmw’s, you probably won’t sell them a Chevy for bmw prices......whether That property is a deal or not is what matters.

Or does it matter? 

I live in Fairhaven so I would google "fairhaven online assessors database"........ 

Then, take your original $100k (you never spent it...no matter how hard you tried), and keep it.Never under any circumstances, for any reason, spend your seed money.
