I've read a few articles describing the benefit of using a 3rd party like "cozy.com" to collect rents from tenants...one benefit being my routing and account number aren't given to tenants for direct deposit which can evidently lead to issues down the road...however, the main benefit being that a tenant can stall an eviction by direct depositing a portion of the rent owed into my account, thereby, nullifying the eviction process and having to start over since I "accepted" partial payment. 

Direct Mail seems like a good approach though.

Hey @Rob PelayoSend me a direct message and I can connect you with my real estate agent who primarily works with investors in the Central Valley area.  

If anyone knows how to approach this I'm willing to work together to find a solution. thanks BP 

Somewhat vague, I understand, but looking to get pointed in the right direction....

Lots o learnin on BP, and the forums/podcasts can help you fine tune the directions you want to take in REI.  

At the moment these are the only strategies I know of that  can potentially allow me to generate quick funds so that I can get into other kinds of deals.I'm hoping other experienced investors can share experiences and insights to these concepts and guide me in the right direction.

Let us know which direction you're thinking after viewing them!

And J Scott weighed in by directing me to all the right questions to ask, and concepts I needed to understand. 

Ok.....Year one of flips is coming to an end (kinda of...) and it started great and it continues to move in the right direction.....Now comes the really fun part of the business.....Rentals....Just like when we started, we knew nothing about flips and now know enough to be dangerous....Would love to have some input on things we should know, ask, etc as we move into our first rental property....Working on making an offer on our first as we speak and here is what I know so far...Property asking price: 129kType: DuplexAlready have tenants and recently signed new lease agreementWhat are some of the items we should look into or better yet, not miss as we go thru this transition.
