So I was happy to hear that good news!

I do 100% by email and texts as I want a digital paper trail of what everyone said they would do. 

@Gary Kong Best way to assess safety is to ask the locals, ask business owners in the different neighborhoods, check NJ.com for news updates on where crime is most common. 

Robert,I have good news and bad news. 

Have you considered that HML loans also have fees and double digit interest rates? 

That might be much better cash flow if legal in your community and HOA ...The best news - you are thinking about this and asking all the right questions.

The rent collection aspect is just one part; might want to keep in mind a platform that was built for smaller DIY landlords (1-15 units) that offers all of the necessary tools; ie. listing to 10+ major listing sites, comprehensive tenant screening, state-specific digital leases (based on the property address; uses that property address to import all necessary local clauses into that residential lease and allows you to add custom clauses and renter rules to it as well) AND online rent collection. 

I have a background in digital marketing and after becoming amazingly frustrated at the difficulty of finding deals where the numbers work wondered about using pay to click ads.

which is the best news of all.
