I offer an online payment portal to submit rent payments via ACH or CC - they "couldn't figure out how to use it" so I set us up to accept Zelle payments.

(G) Acceptable forms of payment of Rent (including Additional Rent) are ___ personal check, ___ cashier’s check, ___ bank check, ___ money order, and ___ the following online/ACH payment methods ____________________.

I have a PO Box that i used for that purpose and any other business mail but since converting to ACH i am not sure when its the last time I went by the post office.  

One of them dinged our credit and sent a late notice before I even had time to set up ACH payments with them.

Ours tenants mostly pay online, 93%, by ACH, debit, and credit card.

That would minimize and maybe eliminate the need for a loan for those properties.

Using a 1031 to upgrade to a two-family could help you reduce or eliminate the $1,000 out-of-pocket expense you’re paying now.Also, condos often come with HOA fees that limit cash flow, so be mindful of their impact.

The ACH collection feature has been a game-changer.

Fix it.We eliminate as much landscaping as possible: we take out flower beds and most decorative features, ideally, lawn mowing is the only job tenants have to do, because we know that's all we can expect from most.
