Post: Collecting rent from low income tenants

Hey @Joseph Konney

I believe the tenant would pay $3.99 to make a cash payment at these locations but is free for you. From my experience it is usually a bit cheaper than getting a money order.

I think this was mentioned earlier but I would suggest looking at Paynearme. The tenants can make cash payments at CVS,  7-11 ect.

Hey Reggie,

The marketplace is full of different softwares are services depending on portfolio size and type. How many units do you manage?

From my experience most companies that are looking into property management software expect it to handle accounting for the properties. Building your own tech stack for a growing company sometimes creates bottlenecks in the future. I know Appfolio, Rentmanager, and Buildium all provide marketing/leasing tools but I don't think it would be a stand alone product.

If you are a property manager I would recommend setting up something like buildium to run your business. For a small owner/operator cozy would be a great option for collecting online payments.

I would recommend Appfolio if you are tracking CAM but if I had to pick a second option I would take a look at Yardi Breeze. It doesn't look like they have a portfolio minimum.

I work with a ton of MHP communities and Paynearme is the way to go. I would see if you have any local CVS or 7-11 in the area.

I personally wouldn't recommend Appfolio unless you had 50+ units. It is typically geared towards larger portfolios and the price point may be a bit high.

I personally wouldn't recommend Appfolio for a portfolio of your size. I think finding a free or inexpensive task management app might be best.

I personally would raise the rents $50 now and maybe another $50 every other year until you are closer to market rent. The reason they have stayed so long might be because it is so far below market value.
