Have you looked up the county/city parcel maps online?

I learned from (a wise loan officer @Chris Mason)  recently that Fannie Mae has changed their guidelines allowing you to transfer the title of a property to an LLC that you are the majority owner of.

As for the content of your direct mail, definitely look up examples online.

If they're good tenants, they have a bank account, and would welcome the ease of paying online and automatically via Cozy, it's free.

Sat right on a major 6 lane road, tons of traffic, no yard to speak of, etc.

I also need to find out what the best way is to go about collecting the payment online from the tenant, then direct depositing the amount after my fee into the owner's bank account.  

Anyone taken the online MIT or Cornell real estate investing courses?

I am having trouble finding info online (everything is tenant favored!!)

I have several tenants requesting the option to pay online rather than sending in or bringing money orders, checks, cash etc. to the office. 

A 1031 is very easy to understand and most can be found online for free or through a phone call to your accountant or a friend who's an accountant.
