I've been putting up bandit signs all over Orange County, searching through Craigslist and sending out direct mail, but my phone hasn't started ringing yet with motivated leads. 

There will always be worries and concerns, but with a professional PM company in place managing them for you then you should be fine.

It is a big waste of time most people, best thing to do it just delete their number off your phone.

the 60 per chair is per week And I pay the phone and utilities.

I would say let them apply and have them have a local professional fill out your form certifying that they require a service animal as allowed per your state regulations.

Putting aside the fact I would never mail a yellow letter because of my model, you can do better than sending a mail piece since you are spending considerable energy building the list.Sign up with BeenVerified or Intellius to find phone numbers, e-mails, social media pages.

If you start seeing properties you like give some property managers a call to make sure you'd be able to have it professionally managed.If I had $80-120k waiting to be invested and lived in LA, NY, SF, etc.

I'm especially interested in someone with experience in 2-4 unit multifamily properties, but any tips on solid professionals with neighborhood experience would be great.Thanks! 

I am curious if we can get an actual professional legal opinion on this matter. 

You can look into other ways to accept online payments and talk to the tenants about using a different service that is more efficient.Talk to the tenant and calmly and professionally tell them the expectations: That the rent will be in your hands by whatever date, regardless of their delivery method.
