Zelle .com has partnered with over 30 banks in the U.S. to send money to individuals regardless of who they bank with and the funds goes right into your account.Just make sure you have a unique email or phone number so your tenant can add you as an contact to pay you.After the setup of your chase account and the activation of quick pay, test it yourself to ensure it works correctly (which it would) try having someone you know send like a $1.00Hope that helps...sorry for the long memo...

I love the challenge of finding the deals no one else sees, and then making a great profit for me and those who Joint Venture with me.

As the foreclosures decline it would be even more challenging. 

And you're point regarding the CoC being lesser for those areas is well taken and the very challenge that I'm trying to move past. 

Here’s my unique position: Pros:- I’m employed- working in tech affords me a high salary- great credit- young (for now haha)Cons:- less than 5k in working capital for deals- young and inexperienced- in NYCThe easiest solution to get started would be to house hack but I don’t have enough money for the down payment on a high priced home.

I would say your major challenge right now is being able to find someone who has enough free time during busy season to start that conversation with you and onboard you as a new client.  

It was very difficult to get any info about the tenants before we purchased the property and soon after we purchased it the tenants in one house moved out.I realize this is a very small sample size to draw any conclusions from, but I guess I want to challenge the belief that it is better for the owner that the tenant not to know who he or she is.

I have a great professor that really challenges his students and pushes us to get out of our comfort zone.

Although my house is unique and larger than most 3-bedrooms here..plus it has an office which many don't.

While I assume multi unit brokerages are more niche and more challenging to get your ‘foot in the door’, perhaps I could assist a broker or team and start that way.2.
