Collection of Rent

[Angela Henderson]

I'm new to real estate investing and just about have my property ready for rent. I will be renting Section 8 ( not that it should make a difference) but wanted to know methods used to collect rent outside of cash, checks, and money orders.  Does anyone set up banking accounts that tenants can used to make deposits? I want to avoid mail and I really don't have time for picking up rents.  Thoughts??

My tenants deposit their rent to my bank account.  I give them deposit slips.
