Sending a paper check to my address would also be acceptable.I do know that he could go online and set this up himself with his bank. 

Once other tip I'd give is to make sure you FULLY understand any current leases on the property with existing tenants.

Sure you can post ads online and make signs but it’s active calling that’s most effective.I’d make a marketing piece about your space then start calling.

I know this is what I want to do, so if anyone has any tips or suggestions about how to start out doing this when I graduate I would really appreciate it and love to talk with you.Thank you!

best to run down to a paint store and talk with a pro. 

But they don't offer online transfers to business accounts at another bank.

In order to find it I used a combination of direct mail and bandit signs which I have to say still work plenty well regardless of the new move towards online marketing but that is another story.

How did you start your investing career, and what tips would you have for me starting mine?

Another way is to go to local supplying stores and talk to those that show up early in the day.
