I am thinking of calling each tenant this evening or tomorrow to introduce myself and explain that the business entity specific to their building was just recently formed, so for the first month they would need to pay in some traditional fashion (by mail, or giving a check to my PM). 

I also have seen a ton of activity in the Western suburbs Oak Park, Downers Grove, Lombard etc.

There is a ton of opportunity in the mid-west Western Illinois and Eastern Iowa.  

I currently live in Brooklyn, New York but I'm looking for multi units in western Massachusetts.

But I still need a solid system to handle leads in a timely fashion.

I've learned and been inspired so much by all the guests on BP and got to work doing things in a completely different fashion than I did in Kansas. 

Last year I did 7 flips in Western Nevada (near Reno) and used the proceeds to obtain a SFR rental there that is cash flowing.
