All in all my confidence level as a rehabber, General Contractor and Investor is stronger as I was able to deliver and the bank was impress with what I have done; they guaranteed approval on my next project once the building has sold which I already bought the next property which I found on FB marketplace. 

but you could add VERY CLEAR language that any checks delivered to prior owners for rent due in past or under your new ownership need to go to you.   

I feel like it is too close to closing at this point to notify tenants that they need to change their payment method and where to deliver it.

If you get the city to deliver a dumpster, I bet they would do it and pay for it just so they could be part of the good news.

If you can offset it for unpaid rent, do it - but do not accept any rent unless it is delivered to you in the full amount due. 

Half of my renters pay in person, some direct deposit and mail or deliver to my designated place (home).what do you think is the best way to handle this?

Letting them know to tell their contacts is also a great way to get leads.How you deliver the message is equally important.

I do not want to use cashapp, zelle, cash, or checks.ThanksI think the best method is direct deposit from their bank account to yours, or you give them deposit slips and they deliver the money order or cash directly to your bank.

Besides delivering relatively high yields, low volatility and several portfolio diversification benefits, real estate has consistently been favored by advisors and investors due to its ability to weather inflationary pressures while preserving and building value.The information provided here is not investment, tax or financial advice.

You know the kind that they build in a yard and a truck delivers and sets on blocks.
