Jered Sturm How do you accept your rent payments?
17 June 2015 | 33 replies
Don't really need to so long as you have proper bookkeeping.Assume they don't put their name on the deposit slip:1) If the tenants paid by check, a lot of banks shows a softcopy on the online system, so you figure out who paid based on the check image.2) If both pay cash AND they are the same amount, the easiest way is to ask the tenant to send a copy of the receipt (using smartphone) to your property manager, who will then forward to you, so you will know.To be honest, once they know that you ask them every single month, they will self-adjust one way or the other.

a few days late since i am super busy with the current rehabs, but closed on #19 on thursday night. worked on it for awhile with the listing agent and the brokerage. they apparently have a great relationship with the feds and kept trying a few times to get the best price. about a month+ ago, it was listed at 72k, i believe. then a few days later it dropped to 64.9k. i offered 52, but they didn't take. they said they had another offer. then i offered 55 and stuck to it 3 times in a row. they said best they'd do at this time was 55.5, so i took it.it's in Garden City, but on the border with Westland. it's on a cross road (one that goes between 2 major roads, so that will push some people away. numbers look like this:purchase - 55.5krehab - who knows, after 18, i still can't estimate properly, but i am hoping $20k at mosttaxes - $2,500rent - average rent is $1,000the problem is that i am out of money right now and can't touch it until i am done with the latest 2 rehabs. i might do a little here and there like demo and cleaning up the yard of trees and such, but no major installs until we are done with the latest 2.my goal was 20 a year ago. i am close, so i just need a new goal.
