First Rental- Tenant Management

[Mak K.]

Hi,

I will have my first rental tenant move in. Few questions:

1> How do I collect rent: By check mailed to PO box? Or can I request ACH deposits only. What software can I use to do ACH deposits to be setup?

2> Are there any free tenant management software I can consider using? I need basic functions of - Deposit rent, Open close tickets and communicate
