Thank you! Great article. My position is HVAC sales. From what I’ve read wouldn’t that be considered as a real estate trade or business?
also the company is going to allow me to be a 1099 private contractor.

Quote from @Ethan Cole:
We switched to Innago several months ago, and it has been great. Also, it's free! It has multiple screening options, and the ability to send leases and invoices digitally. So less time going and meeting tenants. Very handy when you start to get more doors.
Thank you, I’ll have to look into that!

I was reading about how the IRS is going to be more stuck on Venmo, Cashapp, Zelle, etc. for collecting rent from tenants. I wanted to get some thoughts on this and even if it is true?
If it is true what other payment options for tenants would you recommend?

I have 7 doors, and I wanted to get some ideas on a better way to screen for tenants. Currently I’m using Zillow’s background check, and I’m screening all my tenants before they sign a lease. I’m having issues with people being able to fill out applications on Zillow. I’d love to get some thoughts and opinions on a different option. Or a better way to optimize Zillow.
