Many of us service investors all over the U.S. and we supplement meetings with various technology solutions.

They are just situations in search of a solution, and the people that find solutions get wealthy while those that have "problems" vote for people like Obama, Bernie, and Hillary. 

Plus it is not an end all be all solution, but just another tool in the tool belt.Tony

In an effort to provide hyper-generalized tech solutions, a lot of products leave loads of money on the table.

I've already hired one to look into this question and will post his respond when it comes, but frankly I trust the collective wisdom here for a practical solution.

We've had the #4, #5 student who is staying there try to pay us and we mail the check right back.We think its a good solution.

This won't ever change no matter what, so the solution for the landlord is a very good lease and as high a security deposit as you can get.As a new landlord you will go through the typical cycle: You will start with certain expectations that you believe your tenants will adhere to, those expectations will slowly over the years be eroded through repeated disappointments and lots of head shaking where you just can't believe the things you will experience, eventually you'll get to the point where the disappointments will end because you will have eliminated all sense of having any expectations, nothing will surprise you anymore so there will be no stress, the most absurd crazy stuff you will just take in stride with a simple mantra you will repeat as a landlord "They are tenants, there is a reason they are renters..."

So the solution is easy right?
