Does anyone have suggestions on an easy online payment system, that doesn't hold the rent payments for 7-10 days, basically i want it deposited within 3 days of receipt. Need something easy to navigate, most of these folks are not computer or smart phone savvy. --174.105.xxx.xxx

I would have rather had the cash instead of the checks. --73.120.xx.xxx

But I suspect you'd rather not handle checks either? --176.113.xx.xxx

This is a small MHP and a I have a dropbox at a trusted residents house. Cash is not an option, because the dropbox can be pryed open. I live 45 minutes away from this property and I don't want to be tied to having to drive that on the 5th of every month at 5pm to collect the rent. The previous owners gave them until the 5th to collect and I will probably change that to the 3rd in time, but bottom line is I don't want to be tied to being there on a specific day and time. I have other responsibilities. I will make the drive throughout the month to check on things but I'm getting tired of the being tied to showing up on the 5th to collect all the rent checks, when they can set up payment online and I can drive up anytime of the month to check on things without committing to a specific day. --174.105.xxx.xxx

What about setting up a separate account at your bank to where they can go deposit there rent. --73.120.xx.xxx

Some of my tenants that don't have checking accounts deposit their rent in one of my accounts at a local bank near their property. My bank knows to give them a copy of the deposit receipt which my tenants then put in a drop box at the property. I prefer to get electronic deposits but with tenants who don't have regular bank account this works pretty well. --71.174.xx.xxx

Open a deposit account at the local bank and have the residents deposit the money themselves. You can check it online. --172.58.xxx.xxx

I have a couple tenants who make a deposit in my account,write there name and address od the deposit slip and send a text of it to me,no big deal --72.231.xxx.xxx

These drop box safes weighed around 300 pounds and I placed them inside a hallway closet with a metal slot the the side wall accessible from the central hallway. --47.155.xx.xxx

I too operate a MHP, by requiring ACH payments, I have improved rent collection, improved resident retention, and saved myself hundreds of hours each year. --149.76.xxx.xxx

No mailing of checks for residential tenants. Commercial tenants, you pretty much have to accept it. Doller General does all their payments via check. Took me 8 months to get H&R Block switched to ACH payment. --76.77.xxx.xxx

I recommend having a limited number of rent collection days if you do use them --24.101.xxx.xxx
