Anyways, again, good luck and whatever your strategy.... keep it SIMPLE... don't OVERTHINK... and try to think out of the box (AirBnB, short term professional tenants, business credit cards (AMEX and CHASE ONLY)) ... in short a lot of options exist and numerous ways to make money without getting too crazy. 

But thanks for the invite!

I don't think you need to wait until the lease is up but you may want to write an addendum if you want to require them to use Cozy for payment (make sure that's allowed in your state first).Simply send them a letter informing them of the new payment system and that they will be getting an invite to create a Cozy account. 

It's a scary thought, however.I understand how SD-IRAs work, so I'd like to know how you took the leap to moving your retirement funds from a 'secure' position in a standard investment scenario to self-directing your retirement funds into real estate.My sense: this is a good way to have skin in the game and create a track record, particularly when I start to invite others to invest with me, while increasing my return.Thank you for contributing your thoughts and ideas, I look forward to hearing about your experience self-directing your personal IRA funds.Cheers-Jarid

Check out numerous operators and you will have your answers. 

I have posted a few properties and have received numerous leads.

Is it true we can enforce that even if a tenant invites him in?

If you go this route I recommend you google "introductory HELOC Los Angeles" and there will be numerous banks and credit unions that will have an introductory offer of 2.99 or 3.99%.My recommendation is to reach out to a mortgage lender both here in Southern California and out of state (depending on where you want to invest) and determine how much you'll qualify for based on your current numbers.While it will be a process to get everything figured out the key is to take action.
