They can bring payments to the office or send by mail, but anything mailed is not considered paid until it's in my hands.

I can feel that spark of excitement you’ve got.. it reminds me of the thrill I had when I first dove into real estate decades ago.

One think I sometimes try to remind people is that EVERY APPLICANT qualifies for a rental!

In some places there are a few days grace period to allow for rent that is sent via mail (which I don't get because if it is due on the 1st, plan ahead). 

My LLC is registered obviously, then I received a form in the mail once the property was recorded after purchase. 

Sometimes vendors get short-sighted and need to be reminded to not be ridiculous. 

Communication with tenants, rent reminders, maintenance requests, etc have all been seamless. 

Once you think there is no law pertaining to the activity then the work begins this is a belly to belly business your not going to do this on E mail and text messaging .. you will need to be able to sit down with these folks or it will never happen.

This reminds me of the discussion around pricing things at $x.99 instead of $x+1.00.EXAMPLE: $4.99 instead of $5.00Everyone "knows" that the price in the example is basically $5.So, why do billion dollar companies, spending more on marketing departments than everyone's combined income on this thread, STILL use the $x.99 pricing format?

Quote from @Michael K Gallagher: @Jonathan Greene thank you for the reminder, its often the fundamentals done well that win out time and time again.
