I'll have to have a phone conversation with him to see what his experience is with investors.Thank you for the information and advice!

This means that I'm always trying to meet in person or talk on the phone to any/all of my new connections.

Use a quality skip tracing company and get phone numbers that way.

One thing I totally recommend is having a phone chain with everyone you can.

It could be that she (like a lot of tenants) has enough money to pay the rent, but just isn’t putting a high priority on paying it and is spending her money on everything else first (i.e. cable, cell phone, eating out, new clothes, etc).

Also, for both of those, the signer has to physically appear (meet in person, not online or over the phone) before a notary, so anyone other than the signer has any of the documents, it can't be legally notarized because the signer didn't physically appear before the notary.

Make then register a phone # and text a confirmation code, get their IP address?

@Eric Suszka I'd get a new PM unless the person on the phone was new.

We like it because of a few reasons: it has a robust expense management which makes it easier to track expenses and capture receipts with your phone, supports next day payments so when my tenants send a payment i get it in my bank account within 1 business day, but most of all, it is a dedicated mobile app. 

He was an awesome guy we spoke on the phone for quite a while.
