Texting tenants

[Trevor Rutherford]

I'm sure there are a dozen apps out there to send text to remind people that rent is due. Can anyone recommend one?

Regarding group texts, i have found that they don't always work right. If you send a text to the group, you may also expose yourself to revealing all your tenant's phone numbers to the group. Another thing that might happen is that someone responds that they are going to be late and the whole group gets the message. Worse yet, if you respond "okay" then all of your tenants will know that you are okay with rents being late. 

I personally have not found group texts to work well when you have everyone on different phones and different carriers. 

I know that there are ways to text from your computer and possibly even from Outlook. I've never gone the route of Outlook because i never needed it.
