Pay them fairly and educate them as to how to handle their own finances and make wise investments to increase their wealth.

They are not educated or do not care to be educated. 

Find a strategy that you love, educate yourself on it consistently, and surround yourself with people who are already doing it.

For the check lovers and my less educated tenants (the money order crowd) I went to  www.Ipn.intuit.com and invoice them via email each month, it is .50  a transaction.  

If you're brand new to this industry, I suggest taking time to 1) educate yourself about the different aspects of real estate investing (which I am still doing) and 2) begin networking and connecting with people on here.  

 @Steve Babiak thanks for the education.

Never knew how huge it was to have Financial Education and a coach to help you through different things.

I have zero experience in construction and just keep on furthering my education to get at least the basics to become succesfull on REI.

You have come to the right place to educate yourself.  

I am grateful for the awesome BP community and the wealth of opportunity, education, information and experience available here!
