Hello BP experts,I am new landlord getting ready to lease my townhome to a prospective client here in the Raleigh-Durham area.I read some of the posts here on quick and safe rent collection practices and i am wondering if i choose to go the online rent collection route to avoid the hassles of receiving checks through mail, are there any recommendation for Rent collection service that is safe and secure for both tenants and landlord?
